Not going to Church???

We are not Calvinists. We never killed anybody either

I know Primitive Baptists never killed anybody.

I know Primitive Baptists never killed anybody.

Can’t say that about Lutherans, Catholics, Anglicans, Calvinist Puritans. We are a peaceful people. We also hold strictly to Scripture and Grace. And I would dispute this criticism that we aren’t evangelical. Pastor Crouse has told me point blank that if I could find church people in the north who want to know about Jesus he will travel there from Florida to assemble & teach them. Think of all those United Methodists, those PCUSA, these Episcopal's who have been disillusioned and displaced by unbiblical modernism desperately looking for homes where they can again worship the Risen Christ. Their closing their doors is a cry for help by true believers.

But please notice these words in John 3:8: "The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit." The wind blows in Africa, Asia, Europe, Greenland Saudi Arabia, Israel etc and over all the earth just as it does in the US of A. So does the Spirit God! No person can prevent or alter the course of the wind; and neither can any person prevent or alter the movement of God's Spirit. He is always effectual in the calling of regeneration.

We should be having on this board discussions about conversion ( what is it?)…regeneration and what is that, and what’s the differences.

I’m aware that my church (the Primitive Baptists) do have these discussions about regeneration and it’s done regularly.

Now if you can’t go then you could always catch a sermon on the internet… that’s truly the Marrow of Modern Divinity ( to borrow a catch phrase.

If I could be a Calvinist, I'd choose the Primitive Baptists. I've had a couple of friends who were Primitive Baptists. Primitive Baptists have been kind to me, unlike some other Cavinists I've known.

I grew up in the Primitive Baptist Church. You’re right—they’re good, kind people. I disagree with double predestination.

So do I… not all PB’s and their churches follow this though & you know what I’m talking about brother ie total predestination. I can review that if you wish me to (for the sake of the audience.)
