Hubmaier remains my favorite among the Reformers because of his emphasis on <em>Sola Scriptura<\/em>. He also held strongly to three tenets not shared by Luther, Calvin, or Zwingli: (1) believer&#8217;s baptism by immersion, (2) the memorial symbolism of the Lord&#8217;s Supper, and (3) church membership for believers only. Zwingli used the state apparatus to put Hubmaier on trial for heresy and consented to putting Hubmaier to death by fire at the stake.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Click on the highlighted links in this post to access materials to which I have referred.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>High up on the list of some of my life&#8217;s greatest ministry privileges has been the opportunity to serve at Placerita Bible Church for twenty-four years as a lay elder.
