Does Christ have the ability to perpetuate His church? To contest
this is to deny the Deity of Christ. If He could not do what He wanted
to do, then He was not God. Since Jesus Christ is Divine and has all
power in Heaven and on earth, the continuity of His church is assured to
all Bible believers.
Church succession, like all other doctrines, stands or falls upon the
teachings of the Scriptures. The succession of Baptist churches is not
so much an historical question as it is a Biblical one. Apart from any
historical evidence, there is ample proof of church succession in the
Bible.
