The Baptist Life


1st Principle: Religious Toleration

                Baptists have always been religiously tolerant, seeking freedom of religion, rather than forcing religious beliefs upon one another. Thomas Helwy, one of the founders of the Baptist belief, wrote the first document written in English to argue for religious freedom. We as the continuation of the Baptist believers need to remember that we should seek religious tolerance for all.

2nd Principle: Love for Missions

                Baptist’s main concern since their beginning has been missions. Baptist’s primary funding is headed to mission opportunities. The Baptist’s today still tend to support missions above all else. We still support the Charlotte Diggs (‘Lottie’) Moon and the Annie Armstrong foundations.
