This lecture establishes the historical and theological foundations of Reformed Baptist identity by tracing its roots to the Protestant Reformation and the English Separatist movement, emphasizing that Reformed Baptists are not merely a subset of General Baptists but a distinct expression of the broader Reformed tradition. Drawing from 1 Timothy 4, the preacher underscores the necessity of holding fast to the objective, scriptural truth once delivered to the saints, warning against the dilution of doctrine in modern usage. The narrative highlights how the Particular (Reformed) Baptists, emerging from the same separatist milieu as other reformed traditions, preserved a high view of Scripture, believer's baptism by immersion, and the immediate headship of Christ over the local church, while explicitly affirming their unity with other Reformed traditions through confessions like the 1689 London Baptist Confession. The lecture argues that being a Reformed Baptist means embracing a doctrinal heritage rooted in the Reformation, expressed through a written, historically grounded confession of faith, and committed to both doctrinal precision and ecclesial unity across denominational lines.
