In 2009, we Celebrate 400 Years of Being Baptist. English Christians living in Amsterdam began meeting in a bakehouse for worship, and sometime in 1609, the group held its first baptismal service. Since no one in the group had experienced believer's baptism, the leader, John Smyth, suggested that he baptize himself first and then baptize the other believers. Each person baptized was an adult who had confessed belief in Jesus Christ. A desire for religious freedom and the study of the New Testament led this small group to reject infant baptism and found a new church. In 1609, led by Smyth and Thomas Helwys, these became the first Baptists. For the past 400 years, Baptists at their best have continued to affirm and defend the freedoms embraced by our earliest Baptist leaders. |
