Elder Joe Hildreth of Chattanooga Primitive Baptist Church filled a special appointment at Bethany while our pastor was visiting churches in the Philippines. Elder Hildreth turned to Revelation 5:9, “And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation….”
In modern times, one of the most distinctive tenets of Primitive Baptist doctrine is that of God’s sovereign grace in eternal salvation. Throughout this fallen world, God’s Spirit reaches His children even when the preached message of the gospel does not.
Elder Hildreth also shares some information about Bethany’s history from his own experience, tracing the lineage of Bethany through East Atlanta Primitive Baptist Church and Utoy Primitive Baptist Church.
