General Baptists

General Baptists, sometimes called Arminian Baptists, are Baptists that hold to the doctrine of general atonement (belief that Jesus Christ died for all humanity).

General Baptists have produced two major confessions of faith: The Standard Confession of Faith (1660), and the Orthodox Creed (1679). Henry Denne, Thomas Grantham and Daniel Taylor were some of the greatest theological figures for the General Baptist strand in England. Together with the Particular Baptists, the second strand, they form the Baptist tradition.
