HISTORY OF THE BAPTIST CHURCH

In 1790, Prince Williams and his deacon Sharper Morris, who were run away slaves from South Carolina, was credited with establishing the Baptist faith in the Bahamas. They both started the Bethel Baptist Church on Meeting Street which is the oldest Baptist Church in the Bahamas.

Even though Prince Williams was credited with being the founder of the First Baptist Church, he was not allowed to be the pastor because he had a bad marriage. Pastor Scriven became the first pastor of Bethel Baptist Church. Prince Williams then established the St. John’s Native Baptist Church, originally called William’s chapel and Bethlehem Chapel.

Joseph Burton built Zion Chapel on August 25th 1835 to attract a white congregation. Zion grew, but not with whites. The Baptist is known for their splitting habits which are called MULTIPLICATON BY DIVISION. This meant that when conflict existed among the leadership of the church, they leave and formed their own church.

By 1869, there were three distinct groups of Baptists in the Bahamas, Bethel, St. John’s and Zion Baptist.

In an effort to unify (make as one) the Baptist family of all Islands of the Bahamas, The Bahamas Baptist Missionary and Education Convention was formed in 1935 with Reverend A. C. Symonette as President. The first annual session was held May 25, 1936 at St. John’s Baptist church.

There are presently eight Baptist associations under the Bahamas National Baptist Missionary and Education Convention. They are as follows:

Bahamas Baptist Association

Bahamas Baptist Union

Bethel Baptist Association

Morning Star Baptist Association

Paul was taken as a prisoner, bound in chains. The chief captain ask Paul who he was? When he heard Paul speaking in Greek, he accused him of being the Egyptian who led four thousand men out into the wilderness, which were murderers.


Paul requested permission to present his story before the people. He tried to prove to the Jewish people who were accusing him, that he was a Jew. He began by telling them that he was born in Tarsus a city in Cilicia. He even spoke to the people in Hebrew(the language of the Jews). He further tell them that he was schooled under Doctor Gamaliel. He told them that he always observed the law and in his ignorance he persecuted the Christians until he met Jesus on the Road to Damascus. He was not afraid to speak about Jesus as the Saviour. The people were so angry at him. They commanded that Paul be put to death.

The chief captain commanded his soldiers to bind Paul for beating. It was nomal for Romans to beat a confession out of the accused person. As Paul was being bound, he asked the centurion if he knew that it was against the Roman law to bind and flog a Roman citizen without a trial. The centurion became afraid and told that chief captain that Paul was a Roman citzen. Paul was loose and brought before the Sanhderin Council to find out the exact charges that were being brought against Paul.

PAUL IN JERUSALEM ACTS 21

PAUL IN JERUSALEM

Who was Philip the Evangelist?

He was one of the seven helpers in the early Christian Church.
He had become an evangelist (someone who preach and draw men and women to Christ.)
He lived in Caesarea.

Who was Agabus?

He was a prophet who came from Judea to Caesarea.
He took Paul’s belt from him and ties his hands and feet and prophesied that Paul would suffer and be bound hand and feet in Jerusalem.

Who was Mnason?

He was an old Christians disciple from Cyprus.
Paul and his friends stayed with him on their way to Jerusalem.

Why did Paul took a vow of purification?

Paul took a vow of purification on the advice of James to convince the Jews that he still practiced the Jewish law according to Moses. He also did it to avoid problems with the Jews. Paul had to have the vow of purification done because he was sharing with the Jews as done in other chapters how God had accepted the Gentiles even though they were not circumcised. He let them know that it was not necessary for conversion. Some Jews thought that he was teaching other Jews against the law of circumcision, hence, he had to go through the process of purification.

What happen before the seven days of purification was up for Paul?

Jews from Asia when they saw Paul in the temple told other Jews to catch Paul, because he taught against Jewish law and defiled the temple by bringing Gentiles into it. The whole city was in an uproar, and people came running and grab Paul out of the temple. They wanted to kill Paul, but he was rescued by Roman soldiers
