{Basic Christian: blog Bible Study} Historic Baptist Documents -
Confessions, Catechisms, Creeds
Many contemporaries have a deep-seated suspicion of catechisms. In our own Baptist denomination, many would
consider the words "Baptist catechism" as mutually exclusive. A popular misconception is that catechisms are used
in times and places where inadequate views of conversion predominate or the fires of evangelism have long since
turned to white ash. If the Bible is preached, they continue, no catechism is necessary; catechisms tend to produce
mere intellectual assent where true heart religion is absent. This concern reflects a healthy interest for the
experiential side of true Christianity. Concern for conversion and fervor, however, should never diminish one's
commitment to the individual truths of Christianity nor the necessity of teaching them in a full and coherent
manner.~An Encouragement to Use Catechisms, Tom Nettles.

Missionary Journey Age] the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave *him
liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself. And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus,
because the **winds were contrary. And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to
Myra, a city of Lycia." {Note: Luke and the Apostle Paul seem to be recording two primary things. 1. Looking back
