Where's The Proof? Why The Silence?

I want our Hardshell brothers to come forward and give us the evidence for their claims to have remained unchanged in doctrine over the centuries. I want the proof that their forefathers, the ones who founded them as the "Primitive" or "Old School" church, or the ones who preceded them (their Black Rock forefathers), taught their views on salvation. I have been calling on them to step forward and simply give us the proof. "Where's the beef?" It has been many years now and not one person has stepped forward with the proof. What does that say?

What are we to think of them for this? How can they continually make the claim that they are unchanged when the evidence to the contrary is so abundant and clear?

I have produced numerous proofs from their own founding fathers that show that they do not believe what their forefathers believed about salvation. I have called upon them to review the evidence and to give a reply and still there is total silence. Why? What does it say? Does it not show that they are not honest seekers of truth? That they "shut their eyes" to the evidence and believe what they believe dishonestly? If a man came along and claimed that George Washington was not the first US president, would it not be incumbent on such to give proof to that claim and to explain all the evidence that shows that he was president?

I just have to wonder what such willful ignorance says about these people. Does it not indicate that they are a cult?

The first Hardshells of the early 19th century all believed that

1. All the elect would be both regenerated and converted
2. The new birth was accomplished by the means of the preached word
3. Belief in Christ and the gospel was essential for being saved in heaven
4. All the elect, being converted to Christ, would persevere in that faith to salvation

But, most of today's Hardshells deny these truths. They are therefore not entitled to the name "Primitive" or "Original" Baptists. If they want right to the title then they should show us the proof that their views are "the historic view of the Baptists." If they can do this, then why don't they do it? Their silence speaks volumes.
