Hillsong Says It Is Moving Forward?

Gilbert Beebe predicted this over 150 years ago: "We find this grave assemblage of dignitaries, including 1 President, 35 Vice-Presidents and 30 directors, in parliamentary form, legislating upon the destiny of the world, and voting away the moneys belonging to the Baptists of this State by tens of thousands, to be collected, appropriated and expended in such form as their Hons. - the Presidents, Directors & Co. of the convention, shall have decreed, viz: To the Home Mission, $10,000; the Tract Society, Sunday School Union, Literary and Theological institutions, &c., all that they can extort from the people. Instead of allowing to individuals the right of disposing of their own property in their own way, they dictate to them the amount to be raised, and the objects to which the same shall be appropriated; hence we conclude this argument cannot belong to them."

The famous Hillsong Church is being uncovered for what it really is - ed.

THE TERM "WORSHIP LEADER" TRADEMARKED...

 

Another absurdity that evangelicals get themselves into - ed.

THE EXPERIENCE OF SISTER ARNOLD

This is a long article.  But many we hope will find it dear and precious to their soul.  Not all Christians go through this type of conversion by God.  Today, many walk up the aisle, going through some act or ritual, and confirming this as their conversion.  Do they go through the pain, or travail?  - ed.

Dear Brother Beebe: - As the sin unto death mentioned in I John 5:16,17, has been referred to in the late discussion in the "Signs" on the "blasphemy against the Holy Ghost," and as I have had some reflections and views recently on the text, I will give them to you for what they are worth.

Netwon - ed.

A PREDICTION!

The Religious Herald of Virginia, the columns of which were burdened some years ago with many hard sayings against the Old School Baptists, either from an inability to maintain the conflict to the satisfaction of its publisher and readers or from some other policy, has been comparatively silent on the subject ever since the year 1837 about 18 years, have opened a fire against us again in a late number.

AMERICAN TRACT SOCIETY

A coleporter or peddler

WRITERS NEEDED!

As we have looked at the previous century of the Old School Baptists, especially in the Signs of the Times under Gilbert Beebe, we see that there were many writers, all the way from Elders to plain folks, male and female.

Where are they now?  Brethren, we need your writing!  We welcome any testimonies as to your life experience as a Christian; how you came to be known by Christ and your church experience. We also welcome any doctrinal writings, as well as discussions of Scripture!

You may send your emails to Elder Lackey at waldensis@msn.com.  We have the truth!  Let us proclaim it!
