Baptists have an amazing history that begins in the Word of God. Where do Baptists come from? What is their heritage? Down through history, Baptists have always claimed that they go back to the time of Christ. Some folks may say, “That is a pretty bold claim!” I have to agree that it is a bold claim, but I’m going to show you from the Word of God why I, as a Baptist, can make the claim. In this book we prove, both Biblically and historically, that the Baptist church is the only kind that can be traced back to the time of Jesus Christ. We will look first at what the Bible says about the church that Jesus started. Then we will look at the three types of churches in our world today. We will look at how Baptists influenced early American history. We will also look at the ordinance of baptism and the part it has played in Baptist history.
