The first pioneers of today’s Baptist Church were the men of faith who had fled from England to Holland due to persecution, who, having realized the Biblical truth of baptism, were baptized in confession of their faith in Amsterdam in 1609. A part of them returned to England and founded the first Baptist congregation of our age in 1612 in London. Church history, however, confirms that during the two thousand-year history of Christianity there had always been evangelical groups that preached the main Biblical truths held by Baptists today. Therefore, Baptists are justified in believing that the practical source of their doctrine and religious life is the New Testament and the example of the congregations of early Christians.
