Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892) came to a saving knowledge of Christ in 1850 and united with the Baptists and soon began to preach. He became pastor of the Baptist church in Waterbeach in 1851, and 3 years later he was called to the dying Park Street Church, London. The work soon became to prosper under his pastoral stewardship and preaching. He founded a pastor's college that was responsible for the training of many men. The span of his ministry was marked by three great controversies in which he fought for the truth: the diluted Gospel which was fashionable in London when he became a preacher; the 'Baptismal Regeneration' debate of 1864; and the 'Down-Grade' controversy (1887-1891) in which Spurgeon sought to awaken the church to the danger of modern heresy which has effected the church even to today. Though many today uphold Spurgeon as 'The Prince of Preachers' and look to his preaching and oratory style, his real strength and value to the church today was his devotion to God, his adherence to the doctrines of grace, and his commitment to the Scriptures.
