Issue 6. The Baptists
Summary
The Five Distinctives of the Baptist: 1) The Supreme Authority of the Bible, 2) Believer's Baptism, 3) Local Church Autonomy, 4) Preaching and Evangelism, and 5) Separation of Church and State. This issue of Christian History & Biography reveals the origin of this steadfast group of believers who fought through a century of persecution to revolutionize the Church-State relationship and practice baptism by immersion only.
