Goal of a Baptist"What a tragedy," I reflected. I wanted to get back to the Baptist’s walk with God and asked, "What is the goal of the Baptist? Is it different from other Protestant Christian denominations?" He shook his head. "The goal of the Baptist is similar or parallel to the goal of the Christian in general. We seek to make Christ known wherever man is found and to establish the body of Christ wherever Christians are, through an organized worship. In other words, we believe that we should win souls to Jesus Christ." "How do you do this?" "We present to people what we call the simple facts of the Bible truths: man is estranged from God by sin. Though man is estranged from God, he may be brought into fellowship by receiving the gift of salvation, by putting his faith in Christ. So we present God’s Word to individuals, where they are, whenever we find them, just as we find them, and try to bring them into realization and acceptance of Jesus Christ as personal saviour. |
