Baptist Churches

by Pastor Don Elmore

Part 1:  Pastor Elmore goes into the historical origins of the Baptist Church; from its inception in the 1600's and shows the changes from Calvinist to Arminianism. This is the first of two sermons that will tell the brief story of his church life before he was a preacher. It covers about the first 40 years of his existence here on earth and tells of his search for the truth of what the Bible teaches.

Part 2:  The first part of this message speaks to how Zionism was created as a replacement of Judaism in an effort to counter the "hatred" that Christian nations had for them, so in the 1800's the Zionists changed the definition of a Jew to that of a nationality.  They turned it into Jewish nationalism , which means they needed to create a language, a flag and a specific piece of land to call a country.  The second part of this message talks about how the Three Great Awakenings were instrumental in changing the nation's churches, moving away from the original gospel of who the promises of God were intended for, creating many denominations, and weakening, if not destroying, the church.
