“A man’s free will cannot cure him even of a toothache, or of a sore finger and yet he madly thinks it is in its power to cure his soul! The greatest judgment which God Himself can, in the present life, inflict upon a man is to leave him in the hands of his own boasted free will.” - Augustus Toplady (1740-1778)
Join us for our Wednesday evening services at 7:00 p.m. Let us continue to call on our Father in the Heavens, just as His Son, Jesus the Christ, taught us... as we continue to become what He has called us to be.
"And after He approached, Jesus spoke to them saying, Every authority in heaven and upon the earth is given to Me. Therefore, when you transport yourselves, instruct all the nations, merging them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Separate Spirit, teaching them to be observing all things, as many things as I commissioned to you. Indeed, notice, I myself am with you all the days until the consummation of the age."
Matthew 28:18-20
C. H. Spurgeon wrote, If I thought it were wrong to be a Baptist, I should give it up, and become what I believed to be right. C. H. Spurgeon's Autobiography (London: Passmore & Alabaster, 1897). Volume 1, Page 154. Again he said, "We are Baptists, and we cannot swerve from this matter of discipline." Autobiography Volume 2, Page 328. On another occasion he wrote, "We are Calvinistic Baptists, and have no desire to sail under false colors, neither are we ashamed of our principles; if we were, we would renounce them tomorrow."The Metropolitan Tabernacle: Its History and Work. (London: Passmore & Alabaster, 1876). Preface, Page 4.
We believe that the Baptists are the original Christians. We did not commence our existence at the Reformation, we were reformers before Luther or Calvin were born; we never came from the Church of Rome, for we were never in it, but we have an unbroken line up to the apostles themselves. We have always existed from the very days of Christ, and our principles, sometimes veiled and forgotten, like a river which may travel under ground for a little season, have always had honest and holy adherents. Persecuted alike by Romanists and Protestants of almost every sect, yet there has never existed a Government holding Baptist principles which persecuted others; nor, do I believe, any body of Baptists ever held it to be right to put the consciences of others under the control of man. We have ever been ready to suffer, as our martyrologies will prove, but we are not ready to accept any help from the State to prostitute the purity of the Bride of Christ to any alliance with Government, and we will never make the Church, although the Queen, the despot over the consciences of men." Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit (London: Passmore & Alabaster, 1861). Volume 7, Page 225.
