Baptists The Only Thorough Religious Reformers

""Baptists The Only Thorough Religious Reformers"" is a book written by John Quincy Adams, the sixth President of the United States. The book explores the history and beliefs of the Baptist denomination, arguing that they were the only religious group to truly reform and purify the Christian faith. Adams discusses the origins of the Baptist movement, the role of Baptists in the American Revolution and the founding of the United States, and the Baptist approach to religious liberty and individual freedom. He also critiques other Christian denominations for their perceived failures to fully embrace reform and for their adherence to tradition and hierarchy. Overall, ""Baptists The Only Thorough Religious Reformers"" is a detailed and thought-provoking analysis of the Baptist faith and its impact on American history and culture.It is evident, then, that the Baptists suffered merely because they maintained that they ought ""to obey God rather than man."" They found no direction in the Bible for the baptism of infants, and therefore they refused to observe the rite. The Reformed or Protestant churches sought to force them to do it, in opposition to their convictions. They maintained that this was also contrary to the spirit of the Gospel, and thus, in defence of the Bible, and the rights of conscience, they died.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
