What if church rids itself…

We were raised Roman Catholic, a church that flourishes in NJ. We have 17 in a 25 mile area :confused:. If I’d stayed with them then I could pick and choose the church but somehow the Holy Ghost with the help of an audio CD of Pastor George Whitefields sermon on “The Method of Grace” played in my car on my way home from college during a snow storm & driving very slow on Route 80 to avoid a collision, convinced me that Christ really did suffer and die to abolish my sins and He really paid a price for my salvation. With time, I waded through two Presbyterian churches, a Methodist church, a Reformed Baptist church blah blah blah until I learned about the Primitive Baptists and have been intreagued by them ever since. I recently even attempted to get the PB church in Tampa Florida to provide sermons to a rapidly dieing Baptist Church in my town but the Baptist church rejected my proposal. Apparently the HS is not that ready to work in them to save them… alas. so here in New Jersey I am stuck here corresponding with my brothers in Florida a 1000 miles away! Would that I could sit with them and share our love for the Lord face to face.

There are many primitive Baptist churches in Tennessee. Whether any of them tape their sermons or not, I don’t know.

Tennessee is closer to you than Florida, if you’re looking for sermons. Many Primitive Baptist churches there.
I’d like a PB church established here in NJ. I have already mentioned that to Elder Chris Crouse in Florida in Tampa and (providing they are here after Hurricane Milton) then he would bring in some very well known and effective PB Elders in to speak and provide services… planting seeds, hopefully with Gods blessing.

And do they preach and teach the Predestination of all things otherwise known as Absolute Predestination?
"Absolute Predestination" is a tautology. If something is predestined, it's going to happen.

2nd Baptist confession 1689 3:1: God has decreed in Himself from all eternity, by the most wise counsel of His own will, freely and unchangeably, all things that shall ever come to pass [Isaiah 46:10; Ephesians 1:11; Hebrews 6:17; Romans 9:15, 18]
-- Yet in such a way that God is neither the author of sin nor does He have fellowship with any in the committing of sins, nor is violence offered to the will of the creature, nor yet is the contingency of second causes taken away, but rather established [James 1:13-15; 1 John 1:5; Acts of the Apostles 4:27-28; John 18:11]

Double talk. Not logical.
