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.
