"My friends, there never was a separate and distinct people such as the Hardshells of this country are until 1832. Never! They then took a new stand. They then took a new name. They then took a new position. They then adopted new tests of fellowship. They are the innovators; not we. Our people are Apostolic." (Potter-Throgmorton Debate - 1887 - see here)
These are powerful and truthful words by Elder Throgmorton! He proved such to be true in his debate with Potter. Any Hardshell want to come and prove otherwise? Want to answer the argumentation and proofs offered by Throgmorton? By me? By many others?
In another posting I wrote this:
From my years of research into the history of the "Primitive Baptist" denomination, I have discovered that Elder E H. Burnam, a "Primitive Baptist" preacher in the latter half of the 19th century, and who was an associate editor with Elder John Clark on the Hardshell paper "Zion's Advocate," was correct when he stated the following in the "Mt. Carmel Church Trial."
"It was left to the last quarter of the 19th century to give birth among the Old Order of Baptists to the notion of regeneration without faith, or that it is not necessary that one should exercise repentance, faith, or any spiritual gift, in order to be saved, a heresy than which none more pernicious was ever put forth by any professing to be followers of Christ." (here)
Any Hardshell want to come and prove Elder Burnam's statement to be false?
