Elder Bradley Has Passed Away


Elder Lasserre Bradley, Jr.
May 6, 1935 - May 9, 2026

I am sorry to hear of the death of this great man of God. You can read his obituary (here). Elder Bradley at one time was one of the two most popular preachers in the "Primitive Baptist" church until a few years ago when he was generally declared in disorder and rejected by the Hardshells because he rejected their "time salvation" ideology and contended for the old Baptist doctrine of the perseverance of the saints.

I have known Elder Bradley since 1972. When I lived in Ohio I would visit Cincinnati Primitive Baptist church which he founded. He had me fill in for him once after I had moved to North Carolina. I last saw him a couple years ago when I visited Cincinnati church again and enjoyed talking with him.

He leaves on record an immense amount of literature, sermons, and testimonials. May he rest in peace.
