primitive baptist publications

by Elder Harold Hunt

All through the Old Testament, beginning with Gen. 3:15, God provided a steadily unfolding prophecy of the coming Messiah. By the time the Lord appeared, the prophetic picture was clear and so complete, there should have been no doubt as to who he was.

by Elder Harold Hunt

Not only did God provide a clear and complete prophetic picture of the coming Messiah, when he appeared, the Lord fulfilled every prophecy down to the smallest detail, and the New Testament over and again points out that prophecy was being fulfilled.

The Bible is the only proper standard for Baptists. They cannot adopt an official Confession of Faith and still be Baptists, but in 1689, after generations of persecution, they endorsed as much as they could of the Presbyterian Westminster Confession as an explanation - but not an official standard - of their beliefs.

This study shows the difference between the soul-cheering doctrine of salvation and the cold, sterile doctrine known as Calvinism. The author says, “We pray that God will give us the grace to be tender and gentle with those precious children who have not yet realized the difference.”

by Elder S. A. Paine

Elder Paine died in 1910. He was 36 years old, but his the effect of his very short ministry is still being felt by our people until this very day. He was, perhaps, the best debater our people ever had.

There is no greater source of strength nor of encouragement to face the problems of the day than keeping our thought on the One who has the power to deliver us from every distress and the love to do just that .

by Elder Monroe Jones

It has been said that "History is a system of agreed upon myths. There is much truth in that statement. Monroe Jones does an effective job of exposing those myths. You may be turned off by his take-no-prisoners approach, but if you will hear him out, he will provide more useful information than I have ever found in such a short writing.

by Elder Harold Hunt

God is able to save by many or by few. He demonstrated that when he used 300 men to put tens of thousands of the Midianited to rout.

by Elder Harold Hunt

God is not bounded by time the way all created things are. He is rather outside of time. We are told that he is the beginning and the end. That is not the same as saying he is the beginning and he will be the end. He is both at one and the same time.

by Elder C. H. Cayce

Elder Cayce was one of the ablest and most influential preachers the Primitive Baptists ever had. He wrote and published this series of articles on election and predestination just before he died in 1945. It is clear and convinving a presentation as you are likely to find on the subject.

Absoluters tell us that it was necessary for God to predestinate the wickedness of those who crucified our Lord in order for him to die to put away our sins. They use Acts 4:38 to argue their case. Elder Cayce shows that not only is God not the source of their wickedness, but that they were at cross purposes with God. He could have saved his people if they had all stayed at home. God did not need my help or yours, and he did not need the help of those wicked men who crucified our Lord.
