Hardshells & "Calvinism"
Today's Hardshells frequently decry "Calvinism," as well as "Arminianism," and find it necessary to say to people "we are not Calvinists." Yet, I find in reading the writings of the PBs in their first fifty years or so (1830-1880) how those PB forefathers often called themselves Calvinists. So, what happened to change things in this regard? Could it be that the date when they cast off a belief in means is also the date when they began to denounce "Calvinism"?

If a "Primitive Baptist" says "We are not Calvinists" they are saying that they deny that man is born totally depraved, deny that election to salvation is unconditional, believe that Christ died for all, elect and non-elect, deny that the Grace of regeneration is irresistible, and believe that one can lose salvation.
