Leo, what’s your beef with Baptists? I am one, and I and most Baptists I know adhere to historic Christianity. Why the broad brush?

Peace,

Historic Christianity recognizes that baptism is a symbol of the covenant which simply replaces circumcision. The children of believers are welcomed into the covenant via baptism. The modern baptist movement in America has long been associated with the progressive movement. It was the baptists who largely pushed the Christian Women’s Temperance Movement, which pushed prohibition. The argument against alcohol was part of the progressive movement at the time, it was a significant departure from historic Christianity which did not oppose the consumption of alcohol.
