Download free books:
We often get requests from folks around the world for Baptist History books. Unfortunately we do not have any to send. Many of them are just as rare to find here. We do have a resource however that we have created with FREE books that you can download. https://www.facebook.com/groups/baptistchurchhistory/posts/1511381989056945/ On each books page are downloads where you can get them in different formats including PDF and Kindle (which you can get a free app for on your phone) If you look under resourcesbaptistchurchhistory under topics there are some other resources.

FREE!! ONLINE BAPTIST Books
Reposting this for everyone's help
TO OUR FRIENDS AROUND THE WORLD.
Some great resources for you. I know we have a lot of requests on where to find books and I know the need really is great around the world for pastors to have good materials. Often those are unobtainable or unaffordable. We are blessed in America to have a lot of bookstores but being honest the average Christian bookstore here is a minefield filled with false doctrine. Many of the good books are older. If you look under announcements there is an extensive list of FREE books that you can get online.
https://www.facebook.com/.../permalink/1107485922779889/ In addition there are other posts there that list resources for finding and ordering books. I thought I would also mention a couple of other resources for getting Free commentaries (I would suggest Matthew Henry's commentaries, Barnes Notes, Spurgeon's Treasury of David for the Psalms and the Pulpit Commentary) www.archive.org has all of these for free online. Just search by title or author. Another resource is www.onlinebible.net (You might need to go to www.onlinebible.org as net is labeled North America) They have an electronic Bible available for free for download on PC Android or Apple. The starter pack comes with KJV and some other resources. (I like the fact that they don't give you a lot of the junk new translations with the download like a lot of other electronic versions do) Barnes and Matthew Henry and other resources are also available for free and you can download Bibles in different languages (they do have a lot of Textus Receptus based Bibles) I hope these are a blessing.
FREE BAPTIST HISTORY BOOKS-
Acquiring Baptist History books can be a difficult proposition. Many have been long out of print, and when available often can be expensive (even reprints). This is especially true for the many preachers in different countries. I wanted to make this list available of free books that you can download or read online. Most are taken from www.archive.org as well as Google Books. Most all of these are older works that are out of copyright. (So this list misses newer works such as America in Crimson Red or the Faithful Baptist Witness) You can read them online or download them in various forms. You can also download a free kindle reader at Amazon- (however of note sometimes the kindle scans may be a bit garbled at places. (Older books from the 1700’s that have the larger “s” will often convert these to an “f” in the Kindle format as well.) I would also encourage everyone to visit Baptist History Homepage- http://baptisthistoryhomepage.com/ They have a tremendous amount of information there and additional links. There are some additional online resources near the end of the page.
STARTER WORKS
• THE TRAIL OF BLOOD-JM CARROL- This is a brief booklet that traces Baptist perpetuity through the ages. https://archive.org/details/TheTrailOfBlood a version in Swahili is in our files at https://www.facebook.com/groups/baptistchurchhistory/permalink/1581032465425230
• OLD LANDMARKISM-WHAT IS IT- JR GRAVES - Good brief work on Baptist perpetuity https://archive.org/det.../oldlandmarkismw00gravgoog/page/n7
GENERAL WORKS- these are larger works that are more comprehensive. In their scope they trace the general flow of Baptist history.
• A CONSISE HISTORY OF BAPTISTS- C.H. ORCHARD 1855 This work because of its size could also be put into the starter work category however I find it more comprehensive in scope than that. https://archive.org/details/concisehistoryof00orch/page/n4
• BAPTIST SUCCESION- D.B. RAY- In its intent it is similar to the Trail of Blood but it is more comprehensive. https://archive.org/details/baptistsuccessi00rayd/page/n6
• A HISTORY OF THE BAPTISTS- JOHN T CHRISTIAN 1922 Generally in a two volume set- Very good and comprehensive view of Baptist History. Christian wrote able defenses (He would also write- Did they Dip- https://archive.org/details/didtheydiporexa00chri/page/5 that completely demolishes William Whitsitt’s attempt to undermine Baptist historical roots) https://archive.org/details/historyofbaptist00chri/page/n4
• The Compendium of Baptist History- JA Shackelford- Good well written book https://archive.org/details/compendiumofbapt00shac/page/n16
• HISTORY OF THE BAPTISTS- THOMAS ARMITAGE 1887 – Armitage is not as strong on perpetuity but this two volume history has a tremendous scope https://archive.org/details/HistoryOfTheBaptists
• A HISTORY OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH FROM THE BIRTH OF CHRIST TO THE XVIII CENTURY- WILLIAM JONES 1812 This book is a little funny to describe-It shows perpetuity but is kind of a general church history too. Its material on the Waldensians is excellent. The book is a heavy read but comprehensive.
• THE STORY OF THE BAPTISTS IN ALL AGES AND COUNTRIES- Richard B Cook- good general overview. Holds more of the spiritual kinship theory https://archive.org/details/storyofbaptist00cookuoft/page/n4
• A GENERAL HISTORY OF THE BAPTIST DENOMINATION- David Benedict (Note largely US)
REFERENCE WORKS
• THE BAPTIST ENCYCLOPEDIA- William Cathcart- This is not intended as a history but rather a reference source. There are many hundreds of Baptist Biographies here.
• Haynes’ Baptist Cyclopaedia or Dictionary Thomas Haynes- Just found this and it looks like a good reference work to find further information https://archive.org/.../haynesbaptistcy00hayngoog/page/n12
• Baptist Biopgraphy- Another one that I found going through- many shorter biographies Volume one https://archive.org/det.../baptistbiograph01unkngoog/page/n6 Volume two- https://archive.org/.../baptistbiograph00unkngoog/page/n11
• As a note archive and the other resources have a tremendous amount of Biographies available. These books are a starting point to give you some names you might become interested in. Not everybody has a book written about them, but many have shorter biographies here and on Baptist History Homepage.
AMERICAN BAPTIST CHURCH HISTORIES- I will put up individual states in a separate post- these are general works covering the US (NOTE several of the general histories notably Armitage have large sections on the US)
• HISTORY OF THE BAPTISTS- Isaac Backus (Proper title- A History of New England with Particular Reference to the Denomination of Christians called Baptists)
• ANNALS OF THE AMERICAN PULPIT- VOLUME 6 (The Baptists) This series of books was a series of Biographical sketches in various denominations. Volume 6 is the one that deals with the Baptists. Good sketches of various preacher’s lives. https://archive.org/.../annalsamericanp00unkngoog/page/n10
• A HISTORY OF THE BAPTIST CHURCHES IN THE UNITED STATES- Albert Newman https://archive.org/details/historyofbaptist1894newm/page/n8 (Note I don’t think I can really recommend Newman’s A manual of church history- It is a history of all denominations and is wishy washy on Medieval history.)
BRITISH AND EUROPEAN BAPTIST CHURCH HISTORIES
• HISTORY OF THE WELSH BAPTISTS- J Davis https://archive.org/details/historyofwelshba01davi/page/n8
• BYE PATHS IN BAPTIST HISTORY- j Jackson Goadaby- traces Baptists in England https://archive.org/det.../byepathsinbapti00goadgoog/page/n7
• History of the English Baptists- Thomas Crosby. This is one that I still have to read- massive work of four volumes
• The Baptist Movement in the Continent of Europe JH Rushmore Covers the efforts throughout Europe in the 1800’s https://archive.org/.../thebaptistmoveme00rushuoft/page/n8
• A History of the English Baptists- Joseph Ivimey- I have not had a chance to review this yet but it looks good-
MARTYROLOGIES- These books are primarily descriptions of those who paid the ultimate price for their faith in Christ.
• FOXE’S CHRISTIAN MARTYRS OF THE WORLD-JOHN FOXE although this is not only a Baptist history book per se, it does contain accounts of the persecution of the Baptists. Foxe himself was an Anglican and did leave out many accounts of Anabaptists. https://archive.org/details/JohnFoxeBookOfMartyrs
• MEMORIALS OF BAPTIST MARTYRS- This covers what Foxe missed- those brave Baptists that gave their lives for the faith. https://archive.org/det.../memorialsbaptis00browgoog/page/n5
• CROSS AND CROWN- This is not exclusively a Baptist history as others such as the Huguenots are covered. It is about the struggle between the state churches and those that stood for the Scripture.- https://archive.org/.../CrossAndCrownByJamesDabne.../page/n8
• MARTYR’S MIRROR Thielman VanBragt- This is an intimidating book- nearly 1200 pages and is the most comprehensive Martyrology for the period- it goes by year. It will move you to tears reading it. There are over 4,000 here that gave their lives. https://archive.org/details/MartyrsMirror
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES ONLINE
There are many other works on www.archive.org and Google Books including Baptist biographies and church association histories. (State histories will be in the next post) The previously mentioned Baptist History Homepage http://baptisthistoryhomepage.com/ has a tremendous amount of resources. The Digital Public Library of the USA https://dp.la/ could also be an excellent source in finding texts and even photos of old church buildings. Another resource that I found recently that may hold great promise for British and European histories and Biographies is https://www.europeana.eu/portal/en Further Online resources that I had noted earlier can be found at https://www.facebook.com/groups/baptistchurchhistory/permalink/943191685875981/
NOTE Works not included-
Until about 1880 when William Whitsett advocated the theory that we had arisen from English Separatists almost all Baptist history advocated our decent from the Anabaptists in one form or another. Some held direct descent and others spiritual kinship.
Whitsitt’s view held that the Baptists only started immersion in 1640. JT Christian and others thoroughly rebutted this view and Whitsitt’s faulty evidence but much damage was done. Today a great many Baptists hold this view (and probably most modern Baptist historians). There are tidbits of history that may be found in these books but I caution their origin theory. (I will note that I do have some of these in my library) Authors who hold this view include Vedder (Short History of the Baptists) Torbet, (history of the Baptists) Leon McBeth- (various histories) as well as Whitsitt himself.

 â€śThree Major Problems In The Church” by Guy Goodell

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. ” Matthew 22:29 KJV
The church claiming preference as the “Body of Christ” is in trouble. I speak not of the cults or the traditional systems bearing the name of Christian. It is what we have called fundamentalism for all these years. On vacation, I visited a church with my family. What I got there I could have secured in a tavern or a worldly concert!

The threefold problems include:

First, Christians do not read the Bible. They do have one. They often carry one. Ask them a basic Bible doctrinal question and see what you get.

Second, Christians who read the Bible ignore what the Bible says.
For instance, “I know the Bible is against my living with him out of marriage, but I need some financial support, or I’m going under.” I heard this from a young woman who was a pastor’s daughter!

Third, Christians who ignore the Bible don’t see that as a problem. One man told me this, “I’m not a bad person. I just don’t see the big point about being upset over bi-sexual issues.” He was the son of a well-known pastor. By the way, the Bible term here is sodomy.
Jesus said, “… Ye do err; not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.” To know refers to being able to see a fact and perceiving how it relates to life. Factual knowledge without understanding the power of God leads to misdirected living. The Lord also said, “Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee,…” (Rev. 2:4a). — G.G.

(MY OPINION) This is What causes all the confusion? Modern Bible Versions and Lack of Baptist History TRUTH and lack of proper methods of Biblical Interpretation!

THE ROOT CAUSE IS … a SPIRITUAL, a HEART AND an IGNORANCE PROBLEM … that … causes all the other things that were mentioned which are the symptoms!

In a nutshell …

“Major Causes of Problems in the Church”. 

  • “Most Christians do not read the Bible. Many Christians who read the Bible ignore what the Bible says. Some Christians who ignore the Bible don’t see that as a problem.” â€śBaptist Bread” July 17th, 2017 devotional by author Dr. Guy Goodell, Pastor, Bible Baptist Church, Hudson Falls, NY. with permission from Tim Green The Baptist Bread

  • “Ignorance of Baptist heritage, which is so infectious in our pulpits and pews today, is dangerous and must be overcome with a renewed teaching of our Baptist heritage and heroes of past generations.” Appendix B Ten Affirmations Concerning Our Baptist Heritage, ” Page 262, “The Collegiate Baptist History Workbook”, by James R. Beller https://awarningministry.com/index.php/2019/12/11/america-in-crimson-red-book/


What causes all the confusion?  Modern Bible Versions and Lack of Baptist History TRUTH and lack of proper Literal Bible Interpretation!  This is the root cause of all the other things that were mentioned.

Solution: 
We teach the entire counsel of God, based on the Authorized King James Bible, PROPER Biblical Interpretation, including prophecy and True Baptist Church History and Distinctives.

The Ten C’s ….. there may be more ….. Now there are Ten!

(1) ... Greatest Commandments Matthew 22:36-40
(2) ... Great Commission  Matthew 28:16-20
(3) ... Earnestly Contend for the faith Jude 3-4, 20-25
(4) ... All the Counsel of God Acts 20:26-27
(5) ... One Christ Ephesians 4:4-6
(6) ... Another Christ 2 Corinthians 11:4
(7) ... With Compassion, Christians are to have compassion (1 Pe. 3:8; 1 Jn. 3:17; Jude 22). [See Charity, Labor, Love, Mercy.]
(8) ... Pray without ceasing I Thessalonians 5:17
(9) ... Creation Genesis 1:1-2, John 1:1-5 The seven c’s of creation!
(10) ...His Commandments in Old & New Testaments Revelation 22:14C

How to stop all this confusion out there?
  1. Get saved so you “can” understand!
  2. Start reading the KJB and pray every day!
  3. Learn the proper methods of literal interpretation!
  4. Learn “true” Baptist Church History!
  5. Learn and practice the entire counsel of God!
  6. Attend a good Bible Believing Independent Church regularly!

Roger Fulk Admin added the Description April 20, 2021

This is one of the groups that this new group is patterned after. Consider this post as a description to pattern this group after learning biblical truth and what is 'not' biblical truth. If you learn the truth then you will recognize what is not true! As a Born Again Believer, with the help of the HOLY SPIRIT, you will have discernment! LET THE JOURNEY BEGIN!
·
The purpose of this group is to be a teaching group and learning group about LEARNING BIBLICAL TRUTH - GOD'S TRUTH! And, exposing all false teachings, both, within Christianity and outside the realms of Christianity. Brothers & Sisters this is not a debate group.

There are many groups where you can go to debate. Please keep posts to the subject of this group which is A Warning Ministry. If your post is not about A Warming Ministry we will remove it.

The standards we use in this group ...
We teach the entire counsel of God, based on the Authorized King James Bible, proper Biblical Interpretation, including prophecy and Baptist History, Baptist Theology, Baptist Escatology, and Baptist Historical Distinctives.

Roger Fulk ....What do I do? . I am spending several hours a day studying Baptistic Theology, Christian Apologetics and current and historical events as they apply to Biblical principles. I am developing, what some people call, a “Warning Ministry”. Looking back, I have been doing that all my life. Researching, teaching and discerning the truth. This has always been my calling.

I research the research and the Bible. Many of my sources are written by people who have dedicated and spent much of their entire lives writing and researching various subjects. In some cases writing books and preaching sermons that would be difficult for anyone to duplicate and certainly not in my lifetime. My passion is teaching and passing on resources and information to people to help others.

These comments and rules are adapted from a group named "Wolf Watch Ministry False Teaching Exposed Based on the Authorized KJB" and is one of several other warning ministries that contribute information and research to this group!

My purpose in maintaining this ministry is to biblically present the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, to teach what the Bible says about the many controversial issues today, to refute false teaching and teachers to include the false churches and the cults and to help biblically train and disciple those that want to learn God's word.

More about A Warning Ministry

DO YOU REALLY WANT THE TRUTH?
Wolf Watch Ministry False Teaching Exposed
Based on the Authorized KJB - Group Rules!

Folks, especially new members, we ask you to limit your posts to Wolf Watch Ministry: False Teachings Exposed subjects as outlined below! This is the scope of this group - Every day we get posts that are off-topic or from unreliable or unvetted sources or contain modern bible versions or other than Authorized 1611 King James Version or commentary that is not vetted! It is not that other things are necessarily bad just out of the scope of the group. Posts about things that are not within the Description, Standards, and rules of this group will not be approved and deleted at the discretion of the Admins.

Description: The purpose of this group is to be a teaching group and learn about and expose all false teachings, both, within Christianity and outside the realms of Christianity. Brothers & Sisters this is not a debate group. There are many groups where you can go to debate. Please keep posts to the subject of this group which is A Warning Ministry. If your post is not about Wolf Watch Ministry: False Teachings Exposed, which is A Warming Ministry we will remove it.

Inside the realms of Christianity, we expose the false teachings of erroneous Historical Baptist Church History, attacks on Historic Baptist Ecclesiology, Unscriptural Non-Baptist Positions Concerning the Kingdom of God, The Bride of Christ, Baptist Baptism, Baptist History, Heritage, Distinctives, Theology and Doctrine, Women Ministers, The Feminist Movement, Soft Separatism, New Evangelicalism, Theological Liberalism, Materialism, Arminianism, Calvinism, also called The Mystical Invisible Universal 'Church', Limited Atonement, Lordship Salvation, Glossolalia Regeneration, Glossolalia Sanctification, Baptismal Regeneration, Continuationism, Pentecostalism, Charismaticism, Spirit Baptism, Non-Scriptural Teachings on End Times Theology, Sinless Perfectionism, the Prosperity Gospel, Nephilium, Serpent Seed, Easy Believism, Mother Grace, Ecumenicism, Infant Baptism, the Shepherding Movement, Unitarianism, Universalism and Modern Bible Versions, Attack on the King James Bible, and other beliefs that we discover that are not Biblical including … “Cultural Factors that are Weakening Churches” and “Ignorance About Important Issues”… which is … Another reason why a large percentage of fundamental Baptist churches will be well down the emerging path in 10-20 years is that there is widespread ignorance about important issues such as contemporary music, New Evangelicalism, the Southern Baptist Convention, Reformed theology, reconstructionism, charismaticism, Neo-orthodoxy, Darwinian evolution, intelligent design, and theistic evolution, contemplative mysticism, and the emerging church.

Outside the realm of Christianity, we expose the false teachings, including Anti-Israel/Anti-Jewish beliefs, of Roman Catholicism, WICCA, Satanism, Jehovah's Witness, Mormons, New Age, Scientology, Spiritualism, Native American Spiritism, The Way International, Christian Science, Eastern Mysticism, Kundalini, Yoga, The Unification Church, Islam, Seventh Day Adventism, The Nation of Islam, the Hebrew Roots / Messianic / Sacred Name Movement and any other groups that teach doctrine contrary to Orthodox Biblical Christian doctrine.

We do not allow any members to defend any False Teacher, teaching, or cult. Anyone who does so will be removed from this group. All posts that go off-topic will be removed.

The standards we use in this group ... We teach the entire counsel of God, based on the Authorized King James Bible, PROPER Biblical Interpretation METHODS, including prophecy and Baptist History, Heritage, Distinctives, Theology, and Doctrine.

We normally do not put up videos, music, sermons, and Scripture posts unless if they are on Baptist History, Doctrine, Distinctive or other subjects for this group scope. Again not that they are bad or we are against them it's just outside the scope of the group. Thanks for your understanding. UPDATED 04/13/21
