Throughout the ages, Baptists have been known by different names, our doctrines are from the time of Christ and though at times our beliefs have been controversial, even scorned from within our own denomination, there have always been Baptists who adhere to the sound teaching of God's Word.
It is my sincere prayer that every Baptist will make a renewed interest in knowing their history, rich in Biblical theology and doctrine. As Thomas Armitage plainly states, we cannot be Baptists without the Bible, therefore, to be a Baptist, one must first be grounded in the Word of God from which our Lord commands each and everyone to give an account of our faith boldly,
Sam Hughey, The Reformed Reader

"We believe that the Baptists are
the original Christians. We did
not commence our existence at the
reformation, we were reformers
before Luther and 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 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, I believe,
any body of Baptists ever held it
to be right to put the consciences
of others under the control of
man..." —Charles H. Spurgeon
A Reformed and Baptistic Perspective on God's Covenants Greg Nichols  "There
has been an urgent need for Reformed Baptist to produce a work on the
covenants. I am so thankful that Greg Nichols has engaged this very
weighty work. It is a very timely addition on a vitally important topic
and adds much to a growing Reformed Baptist literary body." - James R.

"There never was a man in the world without a creed. What is a creed? A
creed is what you believe. What is a confession? It is a declaration of
what you believe. That declaration may be oral or it may be committed to
writing, but the creed is there either expressed or implied."—B.H.
