List of Reformed Baptists

This is a partial list of notable Reformed Baptists. Reformed Baptists are Baptists that hold to a Calvinist soteriology and Baptist covenant theology (they will also usually hold to a confession of faith, such as the First or Second London Baptist Confession).

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.
