Indian Bottom
Brother Willis , the Indian Bottom allows their ministers to preach with any order in a funeral but they are not allowed to preach with any other Old Regular Baptist ,not in their correspondence at any other time.So if they are at a funeral on Saturday they may preach with the Holiness but come Sunday they can't preach with the Union Assn brothers.I find that to be a double standard God is not the author of confusion,I have been in funerals with a Church of Christ minister preaching water baptism for eternal salvation. I was thankful that I could conduct my own service seprate from his.I have never had a problem with a family ,after explaining our rules, neither did I allow myself to be lumped with a water Salvation minister for the sake of not hurting some ones feelings.

As far as the Union assoc. goes, I would not have one problem putting them in the stand, if I were moderator of a church. But, they could get in trouble with the "higher ups", and I do not want to cause any trouble within any association. BTW, how did the SGA go? I pray that y'all shouted until you couldn't talk! I love you, Bro. Mike.

Old Line Primitive's on Predestination
-
You know, Bro. Mike, the old line position concerning predestination is the only true monergistic(sp?) position going.
So, does the SGA hold to "absolute predestination"? This is what brought about the Sardis Assoc., that split from Mates Creek in 1893. I have heard that the Sardis Assoc. was an illegitimate assoc, meaning that it was formed without an arm from another assoc. After it was already formed, it went into NS, and got its arm. I can not deny or confirm this. I had heard this through the grapevine. Have you ever heard of this? -
The Indian Bottom Association of Old Regular Baptists will have their annual Association meetings Sept. 2-4, 2011. All are welcomed to attend. The first two days, we will have business in one area, and preaching in another area for those who are not delegates. Friday afternoon, we have a "Committee on Arrangements" meeting, where we have a couple preachers, followed by arranging the next day's business. Sunday is for worship only, no business that day. Again, all are welcomed to attend.

I did not know if Mates Creek held to that doctrine now, but a while back, I spoke with a Sister that belongs at a PB church in Richardson, Ky., about 15-20 outside of Louisa. When I asked her about predestination, she said that her church didn't believe it. Now, she may have thought I was referring to the "absoluters", but I am not for sure. I think that this church is in Mates Creek Assoc.
As for Sardis, I was told that those churches went into New Salem, after they were already formed, and then, New Salem gave them their arm. Now, this is second-hand knowledge, so I do not know all the details.
And, finally, I am in complete agreement with you that salvation is of, by, through, and given by the Lord. :thumbsup: I am now leaning towards repentance being a gift of God, whereas before, I thought that the Godly sorrow led us to repentance, where we repented. But I am not totally there yet, but I am leaning that way.

Bro. Mike,
What, if anything, can you tell me about the Friendship Association of ORBs. Bro. Keith Deel sent me a minute from, I think, 2003. Are they still functioning as an assoc? Where is the closest one for me, being in the eastern part of Wva?? -
Yes they are still an association. I believe that their association is at the MaryLou Church on state line ridge.
There is a church on panther creek and several more close to there I'll have to look at my minute to tell you more PM me if you want me to send you a scanned copy of the churches addresses.
peace and prayers -
