The Christian Baptist

The Christian Baptist was a Christian movement founded in the early 19th century by Alexander Campbell and Barton Stone as part of the broader Restoration Movement. It emphasized returning to the original teachings of the New Testament, promoting adult baptism by immersion, congregational autonomy, and simplicity in worship. The movement aimed to unify Christians by focusing on shared beliefs rather than denominational differences. It played a significant role in shaping modern Christian groups that seek to follow the Bible closely, advocating a direct, personal relationship with God and adherence to New Testament practices.
