Why I am a Genevan Baptist

I shall start a series of quotes from the 1560 Geneva Bible, showing examples on why I am what I am, a Genevan Baptist.

The 1560 Geneva Bible -

1 Peter 3 -

20 Which were in time past disobedient, when once the long suffering of God abode in the days of Noe, while the Ark was preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved in the water.
21 To the which also the figure that now saveth us, even Baptism agreeth (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but in that a good conscience maketh request to God) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 
22 Which is at the right hand of God, gone into heaven, to whom the Angels, and Powers, and might are subject. 

The 1611 KJB -

1 Peter 3 -


The 1769 KJV -

1 Peter 3 -

20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
