No one has all the answers to leadership. Nor do I. But these are some guidelines that helped govern me during my years in attempting to manage people through the various roles of leadership. As the President of a publishing company, the principle that covered my leading, was: Do nothing merely because you love to, unless it be right, and wise, and good. Do nothing that you will have to deny you did. Do nothing that you will be ashamed of having done. Do right. Do unto others as you would that they should do to you. Be the best scholar you can be.

Six-Principle Baptists, sometimes referred to as the Old or General Six-Principle Baptists, traces its origin in America to the ministry of Roger Williams in the 1600's. Its first congregation gathered in 1652 at Providence, Rhode Island and, within a short period of time, Six-Principle churches were planted and conferences arose in Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. Soon, a General Six-Principle Baptist Association was formed which was the first Baptist association of any kind in America. Six-Principle Baptists have no ecclesiastically binding creed.

This does not mean that they are completely opposed to the use of creeds, but only that they do not require conformity to the exact words of any one theological creed for membership. Therefore, the following Statements of Faith and Principles of the Six-Principle Baptists beliefs are not used as a binding creed, but are summary testimonies of faith and of the spirit in which Six-Principle Baptists interpret the Holy Scriptures and doctrine. Six-Principle Baptists hold to: -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; -The Holy Spirit as our Comforter and Guide; -The Bible as the supreme written authority in matters of faith and practice; -Liberty of Conscience in matters of interpretation and worship. -The Six Principles of Hebrews 6:1-2 (Repentance, Faith, Baptisms, Laying on of hands, Resurrection, and Judgment) as foundational concepts;
