Historians throughout the twentieth century argued that the English General Baptists were inclined towards Trinitarian heterodoxy. Historians of the twenty-first century have often repeated those claims. Such claims leave students of the period with the impression that many seventeenth-century General Baptist pastors and theologians were mere Biblicists at best and inclined towards heterodoxy at worst. One can find a small number of deviations from orthodox Trinitarian theology among the General Baptists, but such deviations are few and no more common than among other dissenting groups during the period. There is overwhelming evidence that the seventeenth-century English General Baptists were thoroughly orthodox on the doctrine of the Trinity, often referring to the ecumenical creeds in their writings and even in some of their confessions of faith. In fact, the only Baptist confession of faith from the seventeenth century that has an article on the creeds is the English General Baptist Orthodox Creed (1679). The writings of Thomas Helwys, Thomas Grantham, Thomas Monck, and others demonstrate a robust Trinitarian theology among General Baptists. The various confessions of the century demonstrate the same Trinitarian orthodoxy. Therefore, while some General Baptists, following the Puritans, preferred primarily Biblical language for their confessional documents (and required subscription to them), the seventeenth-century General Baptists were unquestionably orthodox on the doctrine of the Trinity, even using the creeds and creedal formulae to expound and defend the faith. The preponderance of evidence dispels the common myth that the seventeenth-century General Baptists were heterodox, Biblicist, and non-creedal.
