"We shall never be satisfied until all religious communities stand upon an equal footing before the law. Caesar has no right to demand of us that we shall support the religion or the superstition which he chooses to select.” - Charles Spurgeon

"After they beat Azat Azatyan so bad blood came out of his ears; after they sent electric shocks up his genitals; after they wacked him with pipes and truncheons, the Russians began to interrogate him about his faith. “When did you become a Baptist?"" time.com/6969273/russia…
The Baptist approach to religious liberty is not one of secularism, relativism, or pluralism. Nor is it one of "Christendom", coercion, or religio-political totalitarianism. The fruit is reconciled communities of persuaded believers from different backgrounds united in Christ.

The End of Religious Liberty | By Jason Duesing "Only on that day, when everyone will bow and acknowledge the one true religion and one true God, will the time of religious freedom end." Read more with the link below bit.ly/3VYUdOP
This text will help lead Baptists back toward their roots, when they strongly advocated liberty of conscience. Take up and read, brothers and sisters! Every Man’s Conscience: Early English Baptists and the Fight for Religious Liberty by @RyanBurtonKing hesedandemet.com/product/every-…
On May 16, 1920, the Southern Baptist statesman and pastor of First Baptist Dallas, George W. Truett, delivered an address entitled, “Baptists and Religious Liberty,” on the steps of the U.S. Capitol. The following thread is a selection of quotations from this address:
Today I found Meeting House Alley, just off what used to be Old Gravel Lane, now Wapping Lane, in Wapping. One of the most influential of London's Baptist churches - certainly the most enduring - met in this area and was registered to premises down this alley, with 300 attending.
"All of our basic human rights flow out of the liberty of conscience that Thomas Helwys was the first to advocate in the English language and did so at the cost of his own life." - @MusingsOnChrist, author of the foreword to "Every Man's Conscience". A helpful conversation!

"Early Baptists lived under the conviction that conversion comes by the Spirit and not the sword. So we use our voices and our votes to shape the public square and we do not hesitate to openly share the saving message of the gospel with our neighbors." - @rdland and @dandarling

Early English Baptists developed a biblically distinctive theology of religious liberty for all in an era when it was not enjoyed by many and was endorsed by few, well before the radical cultural and intellectual shifts of the eighteenth century. hesedandemet.com/product/every-…
This article rings particularly true of the British context Richard Dawkins represents, which did in fact use "the levers of culture or the state to coerce other people to pretend that they are Christians when they are not." The trappings may be nice, but not without the Truth.

And not just Southern Baptists! Baptist Faith and Message XVII flows out of historic Baptist teaching back to 17th century English Baptist writings and confessions engaging with Scripture. It is not only consistent with but critically connected to what it means to be a Baptist.

Thanks to Russia's aggression against Ukraine, about 400 Baptist churches have been lost. And in occupied territories, Russians are severely persecuting pastors: christianitytoday.com/news/2022/augu…
"Nowhere in the New Testament do we see anyone coercing faith in Jesus Christ. Jesus could have coerced faith, but did not... In sum, in the New Testament, Christianity is a faith that does not coerce, but persuades." - @JGDuesing in this helpful article: ftc.co/resource-libra…
This is of utmost importance. Despite the historic Baptist insistence on religious liberty for all, the same has seldom been afforded them by totalitarian regimes. Meanwhile, some in the West - even professed Baptists - speak defensively and even idealistically of Russia...

upon an equal footing before the law. Caesar has no right to demand of us that we shall support the religion or the superstition which he chooses to select.” As a Baptist, Spurgeon was eager to maintain religious liberty. May we, as Baptists, be just as eager. 6/6
In Spurgeon’s view, any marriage between the church and state was “unscriptural and adulterous” and contributed to the religious decline of his day. Speaking against state religion, Spurgeon once preached, “We shall never be satisfied until all religious communities stand /5
As a leading member of the LS, Spurgeon often gave addresses at meetings and hosted LS gatherings at the MetTab, given its accommodating size. For Spurgeon, one of the vital needs of Britain was disestablishment. /4
It’s been said that the LS was one of the most important political organizations of the nonconformist community. And, who just so happened to be one of the most influential members of the LS? Charles Haddon Spurgeon, a champion of religious liberty. /3
The BASCA, rebranded as the Liberation Society in 1853, grew to include Nonconformists of all denominational backgrounds as they fought against persecution and discrimination from the established church. /2
In 1844, a Congregationalist minister named Edward Miall founded the British Anti-State Church Association. The mission of the BASCA was to fight for the disestablishment of the CoE so that religious equality could be achieved in Britain. /1
Putin’s terror. “Evangelicals are targeted by the Russians disproportionally…Protestants were the victims of 34% of the reported persecution events…Baptists made up 13 percent of victims – the largest single group after Ukrainian Orthodox.” time.com/6969273/russia…
@William_E_Wolfe And considering the difference between how Evangelicals/Baptist are treated in Russia verses Ukraine, there's the "religious freedom" layer. So, again, the $$ amount isn't the SBC/ERLC's priority, it's supporting an aid package significant enough to help our interests in the area
@William_E_Wolfe William, there are multiple layers, of course. There's the "significant military aggression against those on the border of our direct allies" layer. Then there's the 10% of world's grain market layer. Obviously the ERLC/SBC isn't coming up with the $50 B #, but they back support.
Yes, you are missing something. The SBC has very close ties with Baptists in Ukraine. This has been a long standing relationship between the IMB/FMB and Ukrainian Baptists, as they've been partnering since the 1920s. Ukraine is a focal point of the SBC imb.org/2023/02/22/eve…
I can't find anywhere that the SBC's ERLC has commented on the ethnic cleansing of Armenian Christians in Nagorno-Karabakh. Nothing on a search of their web site, Twitter, and via Google. I did find that the ERLC complained about US "abandonment of the Kurds" and a "prayer…
Border Crisis or an opportunity for “strangers and pilgrims” to share the gospel? I understand the importance of national borders (a decade in the Army helped with that understanding). However, what an amazing gospel opportunity has been presented to us! Pictured below is Aaron…

NEW: Southern Baptists are more likely to agree with historic Baptist political teaching than the claims of self-professed Christian nationalists. lfwy.co/r36Z50RgB4K
“A free church in a free state is the Christian ideal, and this implies the right of free and unhindered access to God on the part of all men, and the right to form and propagate opinions in the sphere of religion without interference by the civil power.” — Baptist Faith & Msg
🧵At @TheLandCenter we partnered with @LifewayResearch to gauge the beliefs of Southern Baptists on key questions about the role of church and the state. Result: it turns out Baptists have baptist beliefs. A few key findings 1/5
@Everyconscience He may not have, but the author I quote recognized that as well.
Baptists have always stood against coercion from established religion. They have always stood for free, consenting confession from believing churches. Only Christ has the power, grace, and love to convert a soul. #StayBaptist
Important research out today from Lifeway that demonstrates Southern Baptist laity and the leadership of Southern Baptist churches both understand and adhere to historic Baptist positions on church & state and religious liberty:
