I have no problem with people pointing out unbiblical things in a sect of Christendom. The whole goal is not to condemn but to enlighten.
Alright. Then here are a couple of the errors of the Baptist tradition which deny the plain and explicit teaching of Holy Scripture, and is out of line with biblical Christianity:
1) Baptists deny the grace and efficacy of Holy Baptism, even though Scripture says that we are born again by water and the Spirit (John 3:5), that we have been crucified and buried with Christ and given new life in Christ by Baptism (Romans 6:2-9, Colossians 2:12), we have been clothed with Christ in Baptism (Galatians 3:27), been sanctified by the washing of water by the word (Ephesians 5:26), having received the promised gift of the Holy Spirit by this same Baptism (Acts 2:38). Instead Baptism is regarded as an ordinance, a rite done as an outward expression of faith, which is completely unbiblical. Why then do Baptists deny the Scriptures here, and reject what the Church has always confessed and believed which is right here explicitly written in Scripture?
2) Baptists deny that the Eucharist is the true flesh and blood of Jesus Christ, even though Scripture clearly has the Lord Jesus Christ Himself say, "This is My body given for you" and "This is the cup of the new covenant in My blood poured out for you" (Luke 22:19-20) and also we have, "The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ?" (1 Corinthians 10:16) and do we not also read, " Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord." (1 Corinthians 11:27)? So since these precious gifts of bread and wine are the very flesh and blood of Jesus Christ, why do Baptists deny this and say it is merely a symbol, or merely a token, etc? Why not confess what Scripture says here, and which the Church has always confessed and believed?
