Baptists believe that in a true sense, our movement did not begin in the 17th Century, but at the beginning of the 1st Century, when Jesus began to form his first church. This is because the Baptist movement proposes simply to give new birth to the life, doctrine and practices of the Primitive Church as closely as may be possible.

Many people ask why there are so many religions and why, even among Christians, there are so many different churches and denominations.
In the previous chapter, note has been taken as to why different denominations exist. Outstanding leaders led to the formation of new movements within and without Christianity. Although human leadership is a factor, there is still a more fundamental matter. This factor is the basis of revelation of a religion. Each religion recognizes the existence of gods or of a god, and each religion claims to base itself upon the divine revelation received from its god or gods.

Many believe that all Evangelicals preach the same gospel. That is to say that we explain in the same way how one can be saved and what salvation means. Sadly, this is not true. Even among Evangelical preachers can be heard different “gospels.” This, more than anything else, endangers the Evangelical movement in many parts of the world. This same tendency comes to influence the Baptist movement as well. Since the time of Paul, there have been “Christian” preachers who preach another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Galatians 1:6-8

We Baptists believe that, based on the New Testament, salvation is not only genuine, but also that it is eternal.
Perhaps you think everyone believes this way. But, sadly, that is not true. Many believers have no security of an eternal salvation, because they think salvation is a very insecure possession. They think they have salvation today but can lose it tomorrow. This is not what Baptists believe. But what is the truth?

As has been observed, there is tendency to try to guarantee one’s salvation by keeping many rules that are considered as evidence of “enough faithfulness” to be saved. To Christians who made this same mistake, Paul wrote, Are ye so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? Galatians 3:3

We Evangelicals speak little about the priesthood, and, in that, we are mistaken. Possibly, we say little about this matter because of the differences of opinion we have about the priesthood with our Catholic friends. The truth is that the New Testament has much to say about the priesthood, and what it teaches is of great importance for every Christian. Besides that, the doctrine of Christian priesthood is one of the fundamental foundations of the whole Baptist ecclesiastical system.

In his last moments with His church, Jesus left us a mission that is humanly impossible, but it completely possible with his power. All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye, therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen Matthew 28:18-20
