"Our original founders, the four pillars of our Movement, were all Presbyterians: Thomas and Alexander Campbell, Barton W. Stone and Walter Scott. But the masses that came into our ranks during the first generation, 1809-1830, were not Presbyterians but Baptists."

"Hundreds of these Baptist churches....gradually imbibed 'Campbellism', as it was called, until they were no longer considered orthodox Baptist churches, and so they were dubbed 'Reformed Baptists'."

"These 'Reformed Baptists' finally lost all identification as Baptists and became known as 'Disciples of Christ', the name preferred by Alexander Campbell, but also as 'Church of Christ' and 'Christian Church'."

 

Could be. I have never belonged to one that is BU. It says they are congregational so I suppose you are correct.

 

I have also heard the term "Confessing Baptists."

 

I've seen some pretewrism in virtually every Christian denom; more in some, less in others. It's kinda like KJVO, infecting most denoms, while more-prevalent in some than in others.

 

Not exactly true.

The Plymouth Brethren, most of them anyway, don't.
Evangelicals don't. There are some over here who are called United Evangelicals that do, but they were originally called the Peculiar People.


Probably others that I can't think of at present.

 

In the past those that now all themselves Reformed Baptists were known as Particular Baptists, or Strict Baptist, or Strict and Particular Baptist. The 'strict' referring to strict, or closed communion.

There is a S&P a few miles from here at Canterbury. It is called Zoar Baptist and looks like a turret in the old city walls. It was originally a water supply for the Canterbury garrison.

Strict Baptists now mostly call themselves Grace Baptists. S&P would mostly be Gospel Standard Baptists.

 

Yes, as both historical premil and penal substitution can be seen early on in some of the Ecf...

 

This is entirely wrong.
PSA was very well known to the early Church Fathers and to those who came afterwards, though as with so many things, the truth became distorted as time went by.

 

Fascinating! Where have you posted this 'incontrovertible evidence? I seem to have missed it.

 

Right. This makes for a great discussion forum.
