[Revelation 911]

post #35 and #37 exemplify what I stated

It appears that Race is unaware that the Calvinistic ("particular") Baptists took root in this country while non-Calvinistic ("general") Baptists "generally" did not. To a man, all of the founders of the Southern Baptist Convention were Calvinists. The historic Baptist Calvinistic statement of faith is the 1689 London Baptist Confession, modelled on the Westminster Confession.

The Baptist author of Pilgrim's Progress, John Bunyan, was a Calvinist.

The Baptist "Father of the Modern Missionary Movement", William Carey, was a Calvinist.

The greatest Baptist preacher of all time, Charles Haddon Spurgeon, was a Calvinist. Many a non-Calvinistic Baptist preacher has Spurgeon's Sermons on his bookshelf, and is also beholden to a vast number of Calvinistic predecessors..

One of the foremost Baptist theologians of our day, John Piper, is the pastor of the Bethlehem Baptist Church of Minneapolis, and is a Calvinist.

Baptists can, and are, Calvinists, and are becoming more so every day, whether Race believes it or not.
