I have mentioned these things a number of times in the past. But on the BB we tend to repeat ourselves, don't we?
"We [Baptists] are a Protestant group who most reflect our traditional Reformed background and hold, as our forefathers did, to the doctrines of grace, justification by faith alone, the authority of Scripture and the priesthood of all believers." [Chris Taffanstedt, taken from his article : A Primer on Baptist History: The True Baptist Trail]
"Baptists are Protestants. I know there are some Baptists out there who don't believe we are Protestants, but the rejection of this truth betrays a bapto-centric bias and ignores history.
...the first Baptists were in fact Separatists who adopted confessor's baptism. And by the 1640s, the mode of their baptism reflected the New Testament practice of full immersion.
And as good Protestants, we ultimately stand where we stand, not because otheers stand there as well, but because we believe the Spirit still speaks through His Word to guide Christ's people on the narrow way."
