'Hardshells' preach the gospel to feed the sheep and bring the sheep home, not to make sheep. (for one thing)

Primitive Baptists - Wikipedia

It might not be accurate, but from my reading, the article above is reasonably close in description.
Michael or one of the others would have to confirm, of course.
''Reasonably Close'' is correct. Old School Baptist do not believe the church has the authority to establish non Biblical organizations, to control the spread of the gospel or ministers , such as ''Missionary Boards. We are not against the spread of the gospel on Biblical principles, but rather believe it should be under the direction of the Holy Ghost and deny that the gospel regenerates or quickens the alien sinner this is by the operation of the Holy Spirit an effectual call , which is to son ship . The gospel call is to discipleship to those who have already been born again.
