An Orthodox Baptist

      An Orthodox Baptist is one who holds, to the established faith without any reservations whatsoever. Beware of men who would obstruct the way to prevent Baptists from coming back to the Bible and taking their stand strictly on Bible grounds…Orthodox Baptists believe that the Bible is verbally inspired of God; that it was handed down from God to man, not in the rough to be worked over and polished by man’s wisdom, but as the finished product to be accepted as a complete rule of faith and practice for all ages, nothing added to it and nothing take from it.”
