=== Particular Baptists ===
The [[Reformed Baptists|Particular Baptists]] or Reformed Baptists are Baptists who hold to the [[Reformed Christianity|Calvinistic]] view of salvation.<ref>{{cite book |last=Leonard |first=Bill J. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=uPL4oJM6q_UC&pg=PP1 |title=Baptist Questions, Baptist Answers: Exploring the Christian Faith |publisher=Westminster John Knox Press |year=2009 |isbn=978-0-664-23289-4 |page=5 |access-date=17 November 2012}}</ref> Depending on the denomination, Calvinistic Baptists adhere to varying degrees of Reformed theology, ranging from simply embracing the [[Calvinism#Five Points of Calvinism|Five Points of Calvinism]], to accepting a modified form of [[Covenant theology|federalism]]; all Calvinistic Baptists reject the classical Reformed teaching on [[infant baptism]]. While the Reformed Baptist confessions affirm views of the nature of baptism similar to those of the classical Reformed, they reject infants as the proper subjects of baptism.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Collins |first1=Hercules |title=An Orthodox Catechism |date=1680 |publisher=RBAP |isbn=0980217911 |location=Q65 - Q78}}</ref>
