Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Distinctive Principles of Baptists is a book written by James Madison Pendleton and first published in 1882. The book is a comprehensive study of the beliefs and practices of the Baptist denomination. Pendleton examines the distinctive principles that set Baptists apart from other Christian denominations, including their belief in the authority of the Bible, the importance of personal faith, and the practice of adult baptism by immersion.The book is divided into three parts. The first part explores the Baptist view of the Bible, including their belief in its inspiration, authority, and sufficiency. The second part examines the Baptist view of salvation, including their belief in the necessity of personal faith in Jesus Christ, the role of baptism in salvation, and the importance of the local church in the life of the believer. The third part explores the Baptist view of the church, including their belief in the autonomy of the local church, the role of the pastor and deacons, and the importance of church discipline.Throughout the book, Pendleton draws on scripture, history, and the writings of other Baptist theologians to support his arguments. He also addresses common criticisms of the Baptist denomination, such as their rejection of infant baptism and their insistence on immersion as the only valid mode of baptism.Overall, Distinctive Principles of Baptists is a thorough and insightful examination of the beliefs and practices of the Baptist denomination. It is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the distinctive principles that set Baptists apart from other Christian denominations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
