Why I Am Not A Campbellite

by Peter S. Ruckman

This work refutes the anti-scriptural heresy of baptismal regeneration as taught and practiced by the so-called Church of Christ. They are called “Campbellites” because they follow the false teachings of Alexander Campbell, their founder. Dr. Ruckman labels them “Water Dogs” because they are unsaved Gentile dogs depending on water baptism to save them rather than faith in the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. In this booklet, the foundational proof texts for their heresies will be examined and shown that they are more akin to Roman Catholics than Bible-believing Christians. Personal illustrations are given to demonstrate the absurdity and extreme hypocrisy of the “Water Dogs.”(Print 47 pages)
