Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1882), “Baptismal Regeneration” (June 5, 1864):
But you will say “Why do you cry
out against it?” I cry out against it because I believe that baptism does not
save the soul, and that the preaching of it has a wrong and evil influence
upon people.
Free Presbyterian Church of Ulster, Articles of Faith, 6a:
Baptism — The Free
Presbyterian Church of Ulster, under Christ the Great King and Head of the
Church, Realizing that bitter controversy raging around the mode and proper
subjects of the ordinance of Christian baptism has divided the Body of Christ
when that Body should have been united in Christian love and Holy Ghost power
to stem the onslaughts and hell-inspired assaults of modernism, hereby affirms that each member of the Free Presbyterian Church shall have liberty to
decide for himself which course to adopt on these controverted issues, each member giving due honor in love to the views held by
differing brethren, but none espousing the error of baptismal regeneration.
