Hardshell History Studies

Listen, my Hardshell brothers. If you really want to find out what your "founding fathers" believed, go back and read the "The Primitive Baptist" periodical from the 1830s through the 1860s. You can find these old issues on the Internet (here). If you will read this periodical, put forth by the Kehukee Association after the 1832 split, and led by men such as C.B. Hassell, Joshua Lawrence, Mark Bennett, etc., you will discover that you could not fellowship these men were they here today. They believed in gospel means, in perseverance, and in the predestination of all things.
