Baptists Will Argue

Abstract

"SOME YEARS AGO I had a B.W.A. emblem attached to the lapel of my jacket. At a Ministers' meeting we got into quite a heated argument about certain theological questions. After the meeting a priest belonging to another faith came to me and, pointing to the emblem, asked me: "Do these initials stand for the words: 'Baptists Will Argue?'". I had to tell him the truth about these initials and said that they stood for "Baptist World Alliance"-a worldwide fellowship of christians to whom Christ is the central figure in life, preaching and teaching, and therefore they are also as one in the practice of the believ~r's baptism in churches which are founded on the pattern of the New Testament"
