We live in a time when many Baptist churches are in a state of apostasy. Never has there been a time when Baptist are so ignorant of their own heritage. It is difficult to find a Baptist Successionist. Most brethern hold to Anabaptist Kinship theory of Baptist Beginning, and some have even embraced the English Separatist Descent theory. Many brethern are convinced there is no such thing as a succession of true churches from the days of Christ to the present time.
