| Baptist Distinctives and Fundamentalists versus the book of Romans |
| Baptist Distinctives It is not advised that one become a Baptist, for with the BBFers in control the distinctiveness of the Baptists has been lost more than it was in 1961. Granted to be a community and interdenomnational church, like in military chapels is best, Baptist Distinctives are only offered to the extent that they exemplify a New Tesatment church. Itching Ears Theology History of Christian Fables (II Timothy) Bible Series NOTE: The 10 Unappreciated and Deprecated C's of Bible Doctrine, the One Baptism as the One Salvation that is Ignored. The following major content and outline was originally written as a Senior Bible student at Ouachita Baptist College in 1961 for a research paper for Professor Doctor Blackmon. Dr. Blackmon, one of the most faithful to Sciptures and practical pastor in Arkadelphia, more so than any of the Baptist profs experienced at Baylor, Ouachita, and Southwestern, when the request was made to research and write on "Baptist Distinctives", wisely replied, "Is there any such thing?" And Dr. Blackmon as a retired Chaplain in the military was ahead of those later who would stress the inter denominational and non-denominational over any distinction in denominational heritage. What we find then and today on any Bible beliefs of distinctions, or fail to find, is only of value as guidelines of what the sound doctrines of today should be, in all churches and denominations that claim to be Christian as based on the standard and standards of the Bible. I. Introduction: Research and Writing in 1961 on "Baptist Distinctives". II. Twofold Approach and Research Methods. III. Relationships of Authority. IV. "What Saith the Scripture?" V.

| Baptists in the World 1. Baptists in the Ukraine, once the Anabaptists. "The Baptist Church in Ukraine is one of the oldest and most widespread Protestant Christian denominations in the country. Before the fall of the Soviet Union, over half the 1.5 million acknowledged Baptists and Pentecostals in the USSR lived in Soviet Ukraine. Prior to independence in 1991, Ukraine was home to the second largest Baptist community in the world, after the United States, and was called the “Bible Belt” of the former Soviet Union." 2. Historical world-wide Baptists Beliefs (Doctrines). From Cummins, David L. This Day in Baptist History, Greenville, SC: BJU Press, 2000 is the following acrostic backronym, spelling BAPTIST, summarizes Baptists' distinguishing beliefs: Biblical authority (Mat 24:35; 1Pet 1:23; 2Tim 3:16-17) Autonomy of the local church (Mat 18:15-17; 1Cor 6: 1-3) Priesthood of all believers (1Pet 2:5-9; 1Tim 5) Two ordinances (believer's baptism and the Lord's Supper) (Acts 2:41-47; 1Cor 11:23-32) Individual soul liberty (Rom 14:5-12) Separation of Church and State (Mat 22:15-22) Two offices of the church (pastor and deacon) (1Tim 3: 1-13; Tit 1-2) |
| "That Sort" Outline of II Timothy Even like a description of Baptist history because of the diversity {there are 22 distinct and major Baptist denominations}, it is hard to explain where Baptists are today. A more comprehensive look is obtained by looking at the not long ago largest Protestant Denomination in the world, the Southern Baptist Convention {SBC}, and by simultaneously observing the contributions that they made to the present great apostasy of the Falling Away. A shock and a clue came in 1991-1998 when the SBC split into 3 denominations, and for the first time many innocent members started to become aware of a well planned and engineered fundamentalists takeover of the SBC between 1970 and 1980. The infamous 10 year takeover plan of Bible Baptists and other fundamentalists to gain political control by first electing the President, and then replacing all dissenters. Like everything else in life, religion and politics, the Bible stands ready with a sufficient explanation of what is and was really happening. We will find that even from first century days in Christianity there was the beginning of a certain "that sort" group, as Paul calls it in II Timothy with a secret message of a secret rapture that spread like a cancer. 1. The Outline of II Timothy. 2. Itching Ears Theology. 3. The real Second Coming versus the Lie of "that sort". 4. Fundamentalists. 5. Loose Lips Sink Ships. 6. Wood and Clay in the House of God. 7. Wood and Clay of "that sort" have created "perilous times" in Christianity. 8. "That sort" have led in the current great apostasy called the Falling Away. Having obtained political control by 1980 and consolidations of gains between 1980 to 2013, and now feeling secure in their largest pulpits, BBFers are striving for doctrinal control. |
