Here are some more recent publications available that might be useful in bringing up to date some of the more notable men & movements that have influenced Baptists as a whole in recent years. Unfortunately, the ones with which I'm familiar don't usually portray Baptists as a distinct, separate movement that's decidedly different than most of the Protestant movements. These include: "Christian History" a monthly magazine by the Christian History Institute ( www.christianhistorymagazine.org ); "Baptist History & Heritage Journal," a quarterly journal published by the Baptist History & Heritage Society ( www.baptisthistoryandheritagesociety.org ); and even "The Mennonite Quarterly Review." (Mennonites historically are somewhat closely connected with the more mainstream Baptist movements of the so-called Reformation Era, but in many doctrinal areas are distinctively different than the mainstream Baptists of that time period (and following ones).

Does anyone know of any United Baptists who still believe in limited atonement?

A quick Google search brought up: United Baptists There was no section on that site about what they believe, though.
'United Baptists'; is that an oxymoron?

I think so.
Historically (to use broad terms), the United Baptists were formed by a coalition of the Separate Baptists (Sandy Creek, N.C.), formerly the New Lights of the the Congregational Church who were radicalized by the Great Awakening, and the older Regular Baptist churches mostly influenced by the Philadelphia Association, which was an offspring of the Particular Baptists of England, so much so that their confession was almost identical to the 1689 Second London Confession. The Regulars were primarily based in the larger cities of New England and the Mid-Atlantic; the Separates in the rural areas of the South and western frontier where revivalism was more accepted.
Many of these names became jumbled in the Baptist splits and rearrangements of the first half of the 19th century. The Southern Baptist Convention, as well as offshoots like the American Baptist Association, have roots in the United Baptist churches.

I used to work w a man who pastored a UB.
He was hard to pin down on anything
Did not seem concerned w theology at all
Seemed like he pastored a church based on relationship to each other

It was in the late 1700’s that the Regular Baptists began seeking unification with the Separate, sighting the main issue that divided their order, and practice was described as “a distinction without a difference”. This union was achieved in North Carolina, Virginia, and partially in Kentucky by 1787, then completely in 1801, under the name United Baptist. By the mid-1800’s United was dropped from their appellation and since then they are known as Baptist.
Thomas Kidd notes that during the Revolutionary War there was a significant group of Baptists who said, Christians cannot participate in war. If you enlist on either side you will be excommunicated from our church.
Now, Vernon Grounds took that same position. But does anyone know if their are any groups of Baptists that do today? (other than Anabaptists)

UK Baptist union? New Zealand Baptist churches also part of the UK Baptist union.

I didn't mention any UK Baptist union. I linked to a website of a group called "United Baptists", but that is in the United States. Their site says: "
"The United Baptists are predominately small groups of churches and associations found largely in the southern U.S. "
Here in the UK there is the Baptist Union of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, usually just called "The Baptist Union." That was the denomination which Spurgeon and his church left as a result of the "Downgrade Controversy." I have been to their website, The Baptist Union: The Baptist Union and cannot see any reference to New Zealand Baptist churches being part of the Union.

Thanks. I thought that what you wrote before, "New Zealand Baptist churches also part of the UK Baptist union." didn't seem correct.Baptist Churches of New Zealand - Wikipedia
