Time will say nothing but I told you so.

Time only knows the price we have to pay;

If I could tell you I would let you know.”

W.H. Auden

Throughout history, Baptists have been “people of the Book.” The Bible alone has been the foundation for individual, autonomous Baptist churches.

“No creed but the Bible” has been the motto of Baptists who have sought to follow the New Testament since separating from the Church of England in 1607 because English institutional churches did not look like the New Testament churches of Acts.

The Church of England, the Presbyterian Church of Scotland, and the Roman Catholic Church of the Vatican see the church as an institution of hierarchal authority.

Baptists see churches differently.

Christians with Baptist convictions seek to fulfill Christ’s Great Commission through humble acts of service from Spirit-gifted people and not any higher authority of status.
