 Continental Baptist Churches - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Continental Baptist Churches is an association of "Calvinistic" Baptist churches holding New Covenant theology, organized in June of 1983.
Beliefs held by the churches of this body include the doctrines of grace, often referred to as the Five Points of Calvinism, the gathered believers church, believers' baptism by immersion requisite to church membership and to participation at the Lord's table, and the autonomy of each local church.
Continental Baptist Churches accept the First London Confession of Faith (1646 edition) as a general expression of their beliefs.

Baptist churches are not under the direct administrative control of any other body, such as a national council, or a leader such as a bishop or pope.
Baptists have played an important role in the struggle for freedom of religion and separation of church and state in England, the United States, and other countries, including many who were imprisoned and even died for their faith.

 The Alabama Baptist - Deacon dilemma
Whether large or small, modern Baptist churches continue to struggle with the role of deacon, the relationship between deacons and pastors, the function of committees within a New Testament church and the spiritual authority of paid staff other than the pastor.
In essence, most Southern Baptist churches have always practiced the “plurality of elders” but never realized it because they no longer used the term “elder.” The pastor was an elder, but some of those who held the title of deacon actually functioned as elders too.
Just as the teaching ministry of the church took on a new structure that mobilized the laity of the churches to engage in the teaching ministry, the benevolence and evangelistic ministries of the church had new leadership from the WMU and the Brotherhood.

The Scotch Plains Baptist Church was organized in 1747, by members who were dismissed from the Piscataqua Church (which, in turn, was organized in 1686), and the Scotch Plains Church united with the Philadelphia Association the same year.
The newly organized church, which was called the Columbia Baptist Church, may indeed be regarded as the mother church of the many Baptist churches which were organized by the pioneers of the Miami Valley in the two decades which followed.

The Olive and Hurley Old School Baptist Church is the oldest Baptist Church in Ulster County and the second oldest religious organization in the town of Olive, being antedated by two months by the Dutch Reformed Church.

The members then numbered one hundred and sixteen, and, as the regular communicants generally brought to church many family connections and visitors, the church was filled to the doors, the men sitting on one side and the women on the other, according to the Primitive Baptist custom of long standing.

 Independent Plains Baptist Challenger, April 1999, E. L. Bynum
Then whenever Baptist churches and Baptists make less efforts to lead these people to accept the New Testament way of salvation than they make to get the outside world to see it and accept it, it is from pure cowardice and a betrayal of their solemn trust.
Whenever Baptists and Baptist churches fail to make the same effort to reach these people with this truth that they make toward the outside world, they are compromising and betraying their sacred trust.
This Baptist idea, that baptism will not make a man a Christian, that it is unreasonable to baptize him till he has already met with a change of heart, commands the approval of all sensible men outside the church, and it is being rapidly adopted by all the more evangelical religious bodies.

 "Calvinism and the Baptists" by Laurence M. Vance
The fact that a Baptist says he is not a Calvinist means nothing, for the Baptists, more than any other Calvinists, when seeking to draw attention away from the name of Calvin, use the phrase "Doctrines of Grace" as a metaphor for Calvinism.
The concerted attempt of the Calvinistic Baptists to equate Calvinism with Baptist orthodoxy is not shared by their Presbyterian and Reformed "cousins." These two groups are basically the same in doctrine: the term Reformed emphasising the doctrines of the Reformation and the term Presbyterian emphasising their form of church government.
The Baptist who defends free will, man's initiative in the work of salvation, resistible grace, the altar call, the free and well-meaning offer of the gospel, etc., is the Baptist who is consistent.
