104. The History Of Baptists In Early America general Baptists formed their first Virginia church in Prince George When the Virginia general association of Separate Baptists was formed in 1771, http://www.secondbaptistrichmond.org/history/hxearame.htm

The History of Baptists in Early America (This is continued from The History of Baptists in Europe General Baptists formed their first Virginia church in Prince George County in 1715 under the leadership of Robert Norden. They spread to Surry and Isle of Wight counties, but many were forced to move to North Carolina due to disease epidemics and economic problems. Other General Baptist churches were formed in northern Virginia. The Philadelphia Association was the first Baptist association in America. Formed in 1707, it was Calvinistic in belief and sent ministers to northern Virginia to organize churches and to reorganize some General Baptist churches to the Calvinistic or newly-named "Regular" Baptist position. A third Baptist group was entirely of American origin. It arose in New England among the Congregationalists. Some of these came to believe that the church should be composed of believers only. This meant they refused to engage in infant baptism. Later they began to perform baptism by immersion, which they learned from the Baptists. Then some few of them joined with the Baptists. These were moderate Calvinists drawn by the preaching of George Whitefield (pron. "Whit-field") and others who had certain Arminian tendencies. A small number of these headed by Shubal Stearns left Connecticut and moved to Guilford (now Randolph) County, North Carolina, and organized the Sandy Creek Baptist Church in 1755. They were known as "Separate" Baptists. The Separate Baptists were aggressive in evangelism and appealed to plain working people who had little education. They reached out to Virginia and founded the Dan River Church in Pittsylvania County in 1760. Spreading like wildfire they worked in the lower counties of the state. Then they established the Upper Spotsylvania Church north of the James River in 1769. Other churches came in rapid succession as the Separates led all other groups.

Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... B > Baptists A B C D ... Z Baptists (Greek, baptizein , to baptize). A Protestant denomination which exists chiefly in English speaking countries and owes its name to its characteristic doctrine and practice regarding baptism I. DISTINCTIVE PRINCIPLES The Baptists consider the Scriptures to be the sufficient and exclusive rule of faith and practice. In the interpretation of them, every individual enjoys unrestricted freedom. No non-Scriptural scheme of doctrines and duty is recognized as authoritative. General creeds are mere declarations of prevalent doctrinal views, to which no assent beyond one's personal conviction need be given. The two principal Baptist confessions of faith are the Confession of 1688, or Philadelphia Confession, and the New Hampshire Confession. The Philadelphia Confession is the Westminster (Presbyterian) Confession (1646) revised in a Baptist sense. It first appeared in 1677, was reprinted in 1688, approved by the English Baptist Assembly of 1689, and adopted by the Baptist Association at Philadelphia in 1742, a circumstance which accounts for its usual name. It is generally accepted by the Baptists of England and the Southern States of the Union, whereas the Northern States are more attached to the New Hampshire Confession. The latter was adopted by the New Hampshire State Convention in 1833. Its slight doctrinal difference from the Philadelphia Confession consists in a milder presentation of the Calvinistic system.

Life in the 1880's Indiana Baptists Sheryl D. Vanderstel The Baptists in America look to Roger Williams as the founder of the Baptist church in the New World. Dismissed from the Massachusetts Bay Colony for his radical beliefs, Williams and his followers went to Rhode Island for the religious freedom they sought. Here, they founded the first Baptist church in 1639. The faith remained a fairly small denomination, with the first Baptist Association formed in Philadelphia in 1707. By the mid-century, however, dissension among Congregationalists and Presbyterians in the north and central colonies as well as revivals and camp meetings in the southern colonies began to add to the Baptist membership. At the end of the American Revolution, as the western territories opened to settlement, many of those moving into the untamed wilderness were affiliated with the growing Baptist faith. (Sweet: 3-17) A Baptist family was among the earliest settlers of what was to become the new capital at Indianapolis. John McCormick, a Baptist from southeastern Indiana, led his family and a group of settlers to the banks of the confluence of Fall Creek and the White River in 1820. In 1822, McCormick and other Baptists in the fledgling settlement formed a congregation that was pronounced a "regular Baptist congregation" by an examining committee from established churches in the southern part of the state. (Conner Prairie: 50) The congregation met in the schoolhouse and private homes and was shepherded in the early years by itinerant preacher Benjamin Barnes. Congregational growth was slow, and it was not until 1841 that their number had grown to 100. (Indianapolis: 294)
