Primitive Baptist are known for doing all sorts of weird things. They are often viewed along the lines of Westboro Baptist folks.
Come on Rev, this is absolutely uncalled for. I'm not PB, but just because you disagree with them don't equate them to Westboro. There are many good PB's here on this board. (Cue someone posting Rev's self righteous I'm sorry and I'm play nicer thread - apparently he didn't really mean it).
AS far back as I can remember there was training in church for kids and it was going on long before I came along.
You can base how you do church on your experiences if you want to, some of the rest of us will look to scripture.
Parents do need to be training their children but that does not mean that we should not also have training at church. Torturing our children to sit through teaching toward adults that they do not understand does nothing but waste time for them.
So the preaching of the whole counsel of God's word and letting the H.S. freely work is really torture to certain age groups, at what point does little Jimmy become mature enough to hear it? 10, 13, 15, 18, 21?
Seems most of you all want to shelter kids from biblical teaching beyond Noah had an arky arky, and fear they can't handle any concepts that might really challenge them, but at the same time most of you all would probably have no problem taking them to a PG-13 movie or letting them watch whatever on TV.
The age segregation mindset has dumbed down a lot of churches. Because its been done so long, when little Jimmy and little Sally grow up they find church boring. As a result we look around and say where are all the young people, and end up watering down the gospel and resorting to pragmatism to get them in.
