*** HISTORICAL ARTICLES! ***

Some of these articles are elsewhere on this site.  I just thought it profitable to put them together since they have the same theme of the History of the Church.  TRUTH doesn't change, and what was truth for these men and in these articles is still the same for us today.  Teachings of men change with the times, but THE TRUTH of God's Word does not. - TA

OLD SCHOOL PREDESTINARIAN
BAPTIST CHURCHES.

The entries below that are from the ‘Signs of the Times’ are not here as an endorsement. They very well could be sound in doctrine and order but because I have not been there nor do I personally know anyone who attends there, I cannot in good conscience endorse them. They are here for information and their historic value. I do not agree with the term the “SIGNS” churches because each body is autonomous amongst itself. – Tom
