Hi guys! I apologize if I'm being a party pooper, but this is a question that has been reoccurring in my head for a long time. Ive read through this thread and still have no idea where Baptist's came from. Some here say we came from Catholicism, some say not. Could someone give me dates and data to confirm where Baptists originated from? Did they originate from John the Baptist? Is the Baptist denomination 2008 years old? This is definitely something I'd like to know for multiple reasons, but mostly for security.

I posted a link to The Founders Ministries where Tom Ascol gives a general history of the Southern Baptist start which goes back to the Reformation and includes some of the other branches.

This Is the reason I started this thread.I've been part of the "Baptist doctrinal thing " now for about 32 yrs,and I've never been so confused about a church group In my life.Nor have I ever seen so many church splits.I don't mean to slam the Baptists,but very few of the Baptists can seem to get along.WHATS WRONG with them?Now understand,I said very few,not all of them.

When you read Church history you find that most denominations today didn't start right after Pentecost. Just Sayin'

There are two prevailing theories on the origin of the Baptist church. One holds the baptist came about during the Protestant Reformation and are descended from the Catholic church through the Church of England.
The other it the Baptist Church is on os perpetual existence. In other words it has been around since the time of Christ. They believe the church Jesus started was a Baptist church.
The latter is the most far fetched. They claim John was a Baptist because that is what he is called in the Bible. This is simply a misunderstanding of language. The term baptist as applies to John would more accurately be translated as Baptizer or one who baptizes. It is interesting to note that there are two other denominations which claim existence from Biblical times. These are the Church of Christ and some sects of The Church of God. This is based on reading scripture that refers to the Church of Christ or The Church of God in the Bible. Both references referring not to a denomination but to a universal church made up of all believer in Christ.
After years of studying religion to include current churches I have come to the conclusion that the original "churches" were either Jewish or Gentile which was the original Catholic Church. All other denomination as we know them today are branches from those primarily the Catholic church.

Boy ain't this true!!!!! This is what really ticks me off. So many church splits, and why? Usually over petty, rediculous, legalistic standards. Or, the stupid Calvinism vs Arminianism debate, which I utterly despise. I have seen too many Godly centered churchs fight because one is Calvinist and the other isn't. Ugh...ok, I'm off my soapbox (for now).

By the same token, I spent 34 years in a denomination with the same basic doctrines as Nazarines and, according to its own denominational newsletter, the average number of years a "pastor" stayed at a church was 2 years. That translated to a LOT of preachers being run off just when he had learned his congregation enough to begin ministering to them. (And the only church splits I'm aware of in this area came from those folk, not SBC churches.)
Baptists are not the only ones with in-fighting over trivial things. Part of that is because, unfortunately, we can't always identify the wheat from the tares. Part of it is due to people that want their pet sin accepted while others' are publically denounced.

I don't know what Denomination your talking about,But the Nazarenes don't work that way.I'm a daughter of a daceased Nazarene preacher and we stayed in Pittsburgh for 10 yrs.In the Nazarene church,no preacher leaves untill the Lord removes him from that church.

Are they like Methodists, as in pastors are appointed by a higher authority than the local congregation? (Please excuse my ignorance on the polity of the Nazarenes, I'm only familiar with some of their doctrines.)

I just talked with a lady in my office that's been a member of the Nazarine church for about 20 years and she said that a pastor can be terminated by the church if they choose. Calling a pastor is a little different than at a Baptist church, but he can't settle in for as long as he chooses either.

Yes,if the pastor is not pastoring the church Biblicaly,orpreaching false Doctrine or is not moraly obedient to the Bible then the deacons can have him removed.But there has to be Biblical grounds for it.
In the Nazarenes the preachers remain in a church until God says their work there is finished.Then the pastor contacts the DS and the DS lets them know what churches are without pastors.Then the pastor and the DS prays for Gods guidence on where God wants that pastor to go.However,noone ever just places the pastor in any church without lots of prayer.

No, I just considered them when I left the Free Wills because I still thought Southern Baptists distorted scripture and believed in a license to sin.
(The "free will" part was about born again, blood-bought joint-heirs with Christ having the free will to denounce God and leave the faith, thus terminating their salvation.)

OK,now I understand why you think the Nazarenes believe in works.There are denominations who believe in works,but were not one.Thanks.

I just checked on something.I also looked up the history of the Nazarenes.The very first Nazarene church came about in Los Angeles Ca. in 1895.The churches grew in such numbers that in 1908 the Nazarene church was recognized as a Denomination.
I knew it had to be older than 1908 cause I could remember my dad talking about the first church in the 1800's.

No, it doesn't have to do with a specific denomination; it's just my understanding of the belief that one can lose or end their salvation. I now believe that eternal life is eternal. But that's another thread.

Well I may stand partially corrected "Soul Sleep" is used in the FWB teaching but staying in the grave until the resurrection seems to be. Could just be a matter of semantics.
But sinse you are SB, and have attended FWB; I will yield to your knowledge.
Do you concur that the FWB do not believe in the rapture and the SB do?
Do not Souther Baptist believe in eternal security (5th point calvinism)?

Thank you for your honesty.Do want you to know something.When we left the Nazaerne church and began to attend the Baptist I did not want to believe in some thing that was wrong Biblicaly even if my dad did tech something else.I ask the Lord to guide me in my Bible and teach me the truth.I did not get my belief from just reading the Bible,I went to Bible comentaries and even thealogins,so this is why I believe what I do.But like you said,this is for another thread.

You're right,that is why the Bible say to study to show thyself approved rightly deviding the Scripture.If we ask,the HS wil reveal the thruths of the scriptures.But we must be mentaly and Spiritually ready to accept what the HS shows us.Satan knows the scriptures too,much better than we do and he's good at twisting the scriptures for all of us.This is why it is so important to dig into the scriptures and really pray for God to give us wisdom because if we don't we can get off track so easy and believe something that is not Bible.I know,I've been their too many times.

It seems to depend on which part of the country you're in. In the Southeast, all FWB I ever met were all pre-mil/pre-trib. They, like John Hagee, also seemed obsessed with the OT Temple.
