My Baptist Heritage

My great, great, great, great grandfather is Hezekiah Allen. My ggggrandfather, Barnabas and his brother Jacob Page married Hezekiah's daughters. Hezekiah was a member of the Holmes Creek Two Seed in the Spirit Predestinarian Baptist Church as recorded in 1820. Holmes Creek is a part of the Indian Creek district on the banks of the Caney Fork river in Dekalb County, Tennessee. My roots grow deep in hyper-Calvinism! ha!

Like the Two Seeds view it hardly exist at all today. Even Primitive Baptist reject it. Yet the greatest fear of theologians today, hyper-Calvinism, is non-existent.

Now on the other hand I am fearful of humanistic free will views. Hardly any one expresses this fear. This error is mixed with what little truth remains in American Fundamentalism.

    If Gmommy's husband worked with Michael Carrier, then Gmommy's husband must have been a minister at Bellevue. Right?

    I know that you like to play these cat and mouse games but I am a tad more straightforward. Do you have any answers to these questions?

    Did Michael Carrier THREATEN to sue Bellevue Baptist or did he actually file a lawsuit?

    Why did Bellevue sue Cathy Wilson on July 7, 1988? Bellevue, at that time, was represented by Fargarson & Brooke.

    Why did James A. Beckett sue Bellevue Baptist Church on Oct. 28, 2004? Bellevue was represented at that time by Farris, Branon & Bobango.
