Why Should I become a Primitive Baptist?
- For the sake of God's truth -- God has declared that His glory can only be seen in the salvation plan set out in His holy word. This plan involves no work or act on our own, but His alone. Rev. 4:11 declares that we are created for His glory, and we are to glorify Him in our bodies (1Cor. 6:20). In order to achieve maximum glory to God, His truths must be embraced and man's opinions and devices put aside. Forsaking all for His glory is our only choice.
- For the sake of sincerity -- in a time when people are looking for depth and quality, a deep, personal relationship with Jesus Christ and with brothers and sisters in Christ can only be found by embracing His truth.
- For the sake of simplicity -- because of additions to worship such as programs, entertainment, day-care facilities, Sunday schools and age-segregated congregations, religious worship grows more complicated each year. Instead of looking for God in a multitude of activities, we should strive to see the simplicity in Jesus Christ (2 Cor. 11:3), that can be found in a worship style in which families, whethe single-parent homes or traditional, worship together in spirit and in truth, where spiritual food can be bought without price (Isa. 55:1-2) and the only demands placed upon the individual are the commandments of God, which are not grievous (1 Jn. 5:3). The purpose of a Primitive Baptist is to sing, preach and pray in worship of the Lord, to fellowship together frequently in His word and to bring the good news to captive, condition-laden sinners that their salvation rests in the free grace of Jesus Christ alone.
