In the New Testament, the normal sequence is simple: people believe, are baptized, and are added to a local church. Baptism isn’t a free-floating rite; it’s the public doorway into a community that teaches, communes, and practices accountability. Paul treats baptism as incorporation into Christ’s body. Practically, that means “baptized but permanently unjoined” doesn’t fit his framework. Baptism signals belonging that’s meant to be lived out in a real congregation. The famous edge case (the Ethiopian eunuch) shows the order still holds even when geography is awkward: faith →...

I. The Rise of Community Churches Frontier Roots (1700s–1800s): Sparse populations led settlers to share meetinghouses across denominational lines (“Union Churches”), creating a cooperative spirit. Ecumenical Phase (1880–1920): Influenced by the Social Gospel (Gladden, Rauschenbusch), ministers promoted moral reform and social unity rather than doctrinal precision. Community Church Movement (1910–1940): Liberal leaders like Harry Emerson Fosdick and philanthropists like John D. Rockefeller Jr. envisioned “one church for the whole town.” Riverside Church became the model — ...

Summary The book explores competing theories of church succession, with a focus on Landmark Baptists and Old School/Primitive Baptists. Landmarkism (Graves, Pendleton, Dayton): Claimed only Baptist churches were true churches, preserved through an unbroken visible succession from the apostles. They rejected “alien immersion,” enforced strict closed communion, and refused recognition of non-Baptist ministers. Their logic mirrored Roman Catholic apostolic succession, but framed in Baptist terms. Old School/Primitive Baptists (Beebe, Trott, Dudley): Rejected visible succession. The church ...

Michelle Van Loon came to faith in Jesus as a Jewish teenager and embraced the first Christian community she found: evangelicals. Over the next 50 years, she enthusiastically worshiped and worked in a wide variety of evangelical groups. Looking back on those experiences today, Van Loon treasures the things that truly deepened her faith. At the same time, she laments the accumulation of baggage—religious ideas and practices that were unhelpful at best, and harmful at worst.

In the New Testament, the normal sequence is simple: people believe, are baptized, and are added to a local church. Baptism isn’t a free-floating rite; it’s the public doorway into a community that teaches, communes, and practices accountability. Paul treats baptism as incorporation into Christ’s body. Practically, that means “baptized but permanently unjoined” doesn’t fit his framework. Baptism signals belonging that’s meant to be lived out in a real congregation. The famous edge case (the Ethiopian eunuch) shows the order still holds even when geography is awkward: faith →...

I. The Rise of Community Churches Frontier Roots (1700s–1800s): Sparse populations led settlers to share meetinghouses across denominational lines (“Union Churches”), creating a cooperative spirit. Ecumenical Phase (1880–1920): Influenced by the Social Gospel (Gladden, Rauschenbusch), ministers promoted moral reform and social unity rather than doctrinal precision. Community Church Movement (1910–1940): Liberal leaders like Harry Emerson Fosdick and philanthropists like John D.

Summary The book explores competing theories of church succession, with a focus on Landmark Baptists and Old School/Primitive Baptists. Landmarkism (Graves, Pendleton, Dayton): Claimed only Baptist churches were true churches, preserved through an unbroken visible succession from the apostles. They rejected “alien immersion,” enforced strict closed communion, and refused recognition of non-Baptist ministers. Their logic mirrored Roman Catholic apostolic succession, but framed in Baptist terms. Old School/Primitive Baptists (Beebe, Trott, Dudley): Rejected visible succession. The church ...

Michelle Van Loon came to faith in Jesus as a Jewish teenager and embraced the first Christian community she found: evangelicals. Over the next 50 years, she enthusiastically worshiped and worked in a wide variety of evangelical groups. Looking back on those experiences today, Van Loon treasures the things that truly deepened her faith. At the same time, she laments the accumulation of baggage—religious ideas and practices that were unhelpful at best, and harmful at worst.
