Six-Principle Baptists, sometimes referred to as the Old or General
Six-Principle Baptists, traces its origin in America to the
ministry of Roger Williams in the 1600's. Its first congregation
gathered in 1652 at Providence, Rhode Island and, within a short
period of time, Six-Principle churches were planted and conferences
arose in Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. Soon, a
General Six-Principle Baptist Association was formed which was the
first Baptist association of any kind in America. Six-Principle
Baptists have no ecclesiastically binding creed. They hold to the
Bible as the supreme written authority for their faith and practice
with liberty of conscience in matters of interpretation and
worship. This does not mean that they are completely opposed to the
use of creeds, but only that they do not require conformity to the
exact words of any one theological creed for membership. Therefore,
the following Statements of Faith and Principles of the
Six-Principle Baptists beliefs are not used as a binding creed, but
are summary testimonies of faith and of the spirit in which
Six-Principle Baptists interpret the Holy Scriptures and doctrine.
Six-Principle Baptists hold to: One God, the Father, of whom are
all things, and we in him; One Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all
things, and we by him; The Holy Spirit as our Comforter and Guide;
The Bible as the supreme written authority in matters of faith and
practice; Liberty of Conscience in matters of interpretation and
worship. The Six Principles of Hebrews 6:1-2 (Repentance, Faith,
Baptisms, Laying on of hands, Resurrection, and Judgment) as
foundational concepts;
