Baptist Briders Are Missing Much by Not Honoring the Reformation

It's true that some Baptists don't consider themselves as Protestants. The doctrines of Scripture alone, grace alone, faith alone, in Christ alone, and glory to God alone were affirmed by Scriptures themselves way before the Reformation. It was said that Baptists were called Baptists because they baptized people by immersion and told them that the Catholic infant baptism was unscriptural. It didn't take a Martin Luther to rise up and affirm the five Solas. Before that, we already had some pre-Reformation Christian groups which may have included earlier Baptists. However, the lack of successionism may have given way to Baptists becoming Protestants because we have the Reformed Baptist groups. However, we do have a stubborn bunch called the Baptist Briders. The Baptist Bride doctrine teaches that the Baptist Church is supposedly the only Bride of Christ. They would teach that non-Baptist Christians are supposedly part of the family but not part of the Bride. They have the s...

Sadly Some Baptist Preachers Were Messed Up Baptist Briders

There's no doubt that there are some of the best Baptist preachers like Estus Pirkle, Bob Gray, Curtis Hutson, Lester Roloff, etc. were pretty good preachers against sin, they won many to Christ but what is heartbreaking was when I found out that some of the best Baptist preachers were also Baptist Bride followers. Baptist Bride theology is dangerous.  Now it was pretty disturbing to how long I actually did admire some of these preachers. Sadly, the issue is that while I've read some great articles but these people were also responsible for division and havoc because of their Baptist Bride heresy. In fact, some of their best sermons have actually blotted out great men of God like Billy Sunday, Vernon McGee and Harry Allen Ironside out of the list because they were Protestant Christians and not Baptist Christians. I know historically Baptists aren't Protestants, there are also unsaved Protestants but they tend to ignore that there are also unsaved Baptists. In fact...

Why Oppose the Baptist Bride Heresy

There is the heresy that has been propagated by some Baptist groups namely some Independent Baptists and Anabaptists who were "extremely radical Baptists". I would admit some of the greatest theologians of the past were Baptists like Charles Spurgeon, Jonathan Edwards or the translator William Tyndale was a Baptist. Today I enjoy Baptist preachers like David W. Cloud, Paul Washer, Ray Comfort, and John F. MacArthur. The problem has been the Baptist Bride theology which some of the greatest preachers against sin were actually guilty of that theology. Sad but true but some of the preachers who I've enjoyed hearing are sadly Baptist Bride theology. It would mean discrediting the fundamentalist Scripture alone Protestants like John Knox, D. James Kennedy, Harry Allen Ironside, Billy Sunday and Vernon McGee out of the Bride. I might be a Christian in a Baptist group but I really reject the whole Baptist Bride theology because it really fails to accept non-Baptist Christians....
