In listening to a Hardshell elder give a synopsis of what today's "Primitive Baptists" believe about gospel preaching he said "the gospel is not a burn or turn message." Of course, I have heard this repeated by other Hardshells. Is it part of gospel preaching to say to lost sinners "repent (turn) or perish (burn)"? Hardshells say no, but nearly all other Bible believers say yes. What says the scriptures? Did not the first Baptist preach "turn or burn"? Did not the prophets and apostles? The truth is, announcing the gospel's "turn or burn" message is not part of Hardshell gospel preaching, and in fact they rather decry it. Why won't one Hardshell apologist step forward and come here and prove that the bible does not uphold the "turn or burn" message?
Think you will escape "everlasting burnings" (Isa. 33: 14) without turning to God and away from other idols and gods? If so, you are greatly deceived.
