Strict Baptist Historical Society

'The Strict Baptists or, to use the name by which they have often been known, the Strict and Particular Baptists, are a group of evangelical churches found mostly in England. Rooted in the older Particular Baptist tradition, they emerged as a distinct body early in the 19th century, because of their opposition to the idea that it is the duty of every person to repent and believe the gospel. Nowadays many are known as 'Grace Baptists', because of their adherence to 'the doctrines of grace'...

'Strict Baptists share with all other Christian traditions belief in fundamental doctrines such as the Trinity, the divinity and humanity of Jesus Christ, his virgin birth, atoning death, resurrection and return in glory. These truths are seen as taught in the Bible, which Strict Baptists regard as the inspired and infallible word of God, the only final authority for matters of Christian faith and practice. With other Evangelical Christians, Strict Baptists join in affirming the necessity for salvation of a personal relationship with God, founded upon repentance towards God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.'
