Study Notes
Lecture 72: Particular Baptists and the Evangelical Revival in Great Britain, part 2
- Particular Baptists, a Calvinistic/Reformed Baptist group, grew out of the English Reformation.
- Their distinctive doctrine includes particular redemption.
- The 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith is a key document for Reformed Baptists.
- Particular Baptist churches emerged in the 17th century, expanding from the Puritan movement.
- By the mid-1640s, there were seven churches in London.
- By the late 1650s, there were approximately 131 Particular Baptist churches throughout England, Wales, and Ireland.
- A period of persecution followed the restoration of the monarchy in 1660, but the group continued to grow.
- The Act of Toleration in 1689 brought new religious liberty, but Baptist churches started declining toward the 1750s, decreasing from around 220 churches to about 150.
Controversies over More or Less Minor Issues
- After the Act of Toleration, theological and personal differences among Baptists increased.
- Disagreements over congregational singing (including "uninspired" hymns) and open vs. closed communion divided the churches.
- Disputes were often divisive and mean-spirited.
- Figures like Isaac Marlow wrote extensively on the issue of congregational singing.
The Negative Attitude toward the Evangelical Revival
- The Particular Baptists were often resistant to the evangelical revival of the 1730s and 1740s, largely due to leaders being members of the Church of England.
- Baptists were suspicious of the revival's leaders and the perceived connection to a denomination they considered non-scriptural.
- Concerns about the focus on emotion and the outward expressions of the revival, and concerns about the implications of this emphasis on the doctrines of the faith.
- Concerns over the appropriateness of the methods used in the revival by figures like Whitefield and Wesley.
