Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Original Free Will Baptists Original Free Will Baptists are the spiritual descendants of the General Baptists who settled in North Carolina during the colonial period. These General Baptists were the earliest Baptists to settle in the colony and were among the earliest organized religious groups in the colony, preceded only by the Quakers and the Anglicans. The story of these early Baptists has often been overshadowed by the accounts of other and later religious move ments which swept through the settlements of North Carolina and the rest of the region which became known as the South. Once this denomination had adopted the name Free Will Baptist and had begun to develop its own identity, they then began to preserve some account of their annual conferences, without which it would be impossible for one to know very much about them, apart from the oral traditions passed on from generation to generation. In the late nineteenth century there appeared two accounts of their history in North Carolina. The first was a summary account of their origin in this state, written by Rufus K. Heam about 1880, and the second consisted of a revised and enlarged version of Heam's account of their beginnings and a more detailed history of their pilgrimage through the nineteenth century, using abstracts of the minutes of the conferences during this period and written by Thad F. Harrison and J. M. Barfield. The latter was published in 1897 and served to inform a later generation of Free Will Baptists concerning their heritage. During the twentieth century more adequate records of this denomination havebeen kept and more attention has been given to preserving such materials, especially during the last few decades. In addition, research has turned up more information on the early period, including the colonial and the English General Baptist background of the denomination. As a result it is possible to give a more comprehensive and more accurate account of the denomina tion's history. For many years the author has had a deep interest in the history of Original Free Will Baptists. That interest, which beganof time the idea that he should undertake to write a history of the denomination began to take root and finally came to fruition following his retirement from the, college.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of Eminent Preachers in the Freewill Baptist Denomination The design of this book is to preserve, in a more durable form, brief but characteristic sketches of eminent deceased Freewill Baptist ministers. That it includes all who occupied prominent positions in the church and ministry, it is not pre tended. Neither is it claimed that the selections have, in every case, been the most judicious. The history of some, especially the early fathers, which would be interesting, can not be obtained; hence, their history is necessari passed over in silence; but their record is on high.

This year the church in New Durham received an accession of thirty-one members, and the next year twentysix were added. At the October session of the Quarterly Meeting in 1794, neither David Knowlton, an unordained preacher, nor any other member from Pittsfield, was present. Such a delinquency was not allowed to pass unnoticed; and Randall, by instruction, admonished them as follows: "We are this day convened at our Quarterly Meeting, and have a good day, through grace; but feel somewhat grieved at finding--David's seat empty. We wonder at you, brethren, that none of all your meeting are present, when the weather is so pleasant, and the travelling so good." The request for the ordination of Knowlton in 1795 was referred from the Quarterly Meeting to the June session of the Yearly Meeting, and a council of five ministers, each to be accompanied by a layman, was chosen and sent to Pittsfield. It convened with the church August 12th, and the following extract from the church record is here inserted at length, as a specimen examination by the fathers: "1, Chose John Buzzell Chairman. "2. Chose Benjamin Ran dull Clerk. "3. Queried with the candidate as follows: "' Dost thou believe that the Lord has called thee to preach the gospel?' "Answer. 'Yes.' "' Dost thou believe it will be for the glory of God that hands should be laid upon thee, if the council should find satisfaction?' "Answer. 'I dare not draw back.' "* Then give us a reason of thy hope; relate the dealings of God in bringing thy soul from bondage into liberty, and thy call to public improvement.' "He did so; all of which was satisfactory to the council. Questions were proposed as to the fall of man--his 1795.] CHURCH IN CANTERBUBY. 147 restoration by Jesus Christ--the obligations...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of the West Virginia Free Will Baptists began 145 years ago in the Eastern part of the state near Harpers Ferry, when a Free Will Baptist Church was begun in 1868. By 1873 there was also a Taylor Quarterly Meeting in the northern part of the state which was affiliated with the Ohio River Yearly Meeting. Likewise in July, 1883 the Kanawha County organized a quarterly meeting with the influence of some of the brethren in southern Ohio. The Kanawha church was organized in 1879. Since those days their were many quarterly meetings that were started and the West Virginia Yearly Meeting was formed in 1886 with 25 churches and 885 members. Then the merger with the Northern Baptist came in 1911-12, but these did not seem to affect the churches in the southern part of West Virginia. Later these Free Will Baptists merged with the Tri-State Association of Free Will Baptist which consisted of Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky which was formed in 1919.The present West Virginia State Association was formed in 1945-46. Today there are 21 conferences and 172 churches in the State Association and many independent Free Will Baptist churches within the state.
