{"id":1899,"count":1,"description":"Nehemiah Coxe (?-1689) was a Particular Baptist preacher. He was the son of Benjamin Coxe. In 1669, he became a member of the church in Bedford once pastored by John Bunyan. Due to disagreement over an open communion table, he moved his membership in 1674 to the Petty France church meeting in London, where he was appointed co-pastor alongside William Collins. The two men are credited with drafting the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith. Although his theological works\u2014particularly his covenant theology\u2014have been given new life  by the Reformed Baptists (1689 Federalists), they ceased to be of value among the Particular Baptists after the 17th century. His dichotomy of the everlasting covenant, having been rejected by men such as Keach and Gill, was replaced with a single saving covenant, upon which the tenets of Hyper-Calvinism were developed. From this perspective, the Reformed Baptists have revived an unreformed covenant theology, rendering them less reformed than present day Particular Baptists. \r\n","link":"https:\/\/www.baptists.net\/history\/category\/nehemiah-coxe\/","name":"Nehemiah Coxe","slug":"nehemiah-coxe","taxonomy":"category","parent":0,"meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.baptists.net\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/1899","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.baptists.net\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.baptists.net\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/category"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.baptists.net\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?categories=1899"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
