This is the email communication group for the Alabama Association of Six Principle Baptists. Six-Principle Baptists have no ecclesiastically binding creed. We hold to the historic Baptist distinctive of Liberty of Conscience in matters of faith and practice. We believe in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior and accept the six principles found in Hebrews 6:1-2 as foundational concepts of faith and practice.

"Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine (teaching) of Christ, let us go on to perfection (maturity); not *laying again (not disrupting) the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal (eonion) judgment."

* Note: Greek kataballo, casting down or overthrow. It means, do not cast down or destroy the foundation already laid of the 6 fundamental doctrines.

The General Six Principle Baptist Association is the oldest Baptist Association in the United States, tracing its roots to the work of Roger Williams in 1652 in Providence, Rhode island.

Today, the General Association of Six-Principle Baptist Churches, Inc. continues those traditions by establishing and/or assisting ministers and churches to go on to maturity, building on the foundational principles of the teachings of Christ.

Again, we emphasize that Six-Principle Baptists have no ecclesiastically binding creed, but simply trust in:

One God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him;
One Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him; ( See 1 Cor. 8:6)
The Holy Spirit as their Comfortor and Guide;
The six priciples in Heb. 6:1-2 as foundational concepts;
Liberty of Conscience in matters of faith and practice.
