==Life==
Kiffin and Paul published a rejoinder in ''Serious Reflections'' (London, 1673), in which they ably set forth the argument in favor of the restriction of the [[Lord's Supper]] to baptized believers, and received the approval of Henry Danvers in his ''Treatise of Baptism'' (London, 1673 or 1674). The controversy resulted in the Particular (Calvinistic) Baptists leaving the question of communion with the unbaptized open. Bunyan's church admitted pedobaptists to fellowship and finally became pedobaptist (Congregationalist).
