Primitive Advent Christian Church<br />
This body split from the Advent Christian<br />
Church. All its churches are in West Virginia. The<br />
Primitive Advent Christian Church believes that the<br />
Bible is the only rule <strong>of</strong> faith <strong>and</strong> practice <strong>and</strong> that<br />
Christian character is the only test <strong>of</strong> fellowship <strong>and</strong><br />
communion. The church agrees with Christian<br />
fidelity <strong>and</strong> meekness; exercises mutual watch <strong>and</strong><br />
care; counsels, admonishes, or reproves as duty<br />
may require <strong>and</strong> receives the same from each other<br />
as becomes the household <strong>of</strong> faith. Primitive<br />
Advent Christians do not believe in taking up arms.<br />
The church believes that three ordinances are<br />
set forth by the Bible to be observed by the<br />
Christian church, (1) baptism by immersion; (2)<br />
the Lord’s Supper, by partaking <strong>of</strong> unleavened<br />
bread <strong>and</strong> wine; (3) feet washing, to be observed<br />
by the saints’ washing <strong>of</strong> one another’s feet.<br />

Primitive Baptists<br />
This group <strong>of</strong> Baptists has churches in the<br />
United States, the Philippines, India <strong>and</strong> Africa.<br />
While they oppose centralization <strong>and</strong> modern<br />
mission boards, they believe in the circulation <strong>of</strong><br />
the gospel. They preach salvation by grace alone.<br />

Primitive Methodist Church in the<br />
U.S.A.<br />
Hugh Bourne <strong>and</strong> William Clowes, local preachers<br />
in the Wesleyan Church in Engl<strong>and</strong>, organized a<br />
daylong meeting at Mow Cop in Staffordshire on<br />
May 31, 1807, after Lorenzo Dow, an evangelist<br />
from America, told them <strong>of</strong> <strong>American</strong> camp meetings.<br />
Thous<strong>and</strong>s attended <strong>and</strong> many were converted<br />
but the Methodist church, founded by the open-air<br />
preacher John Wesley, refused to accept the converts<br />
<strong>and</strong> reprim<strong>and</strong>ed the preachers.<br />
After waiting for two years for a favorable<br />
action by the Wesleyan Society, Bourne <strong>and</strong><br />
Clowes established The Society <strong>of</strong> the Primitive<br />
Methodists. This was not a schism, Bourne said,<br />
for “we did not take one from them ... it now<br />
appeared to be the will <strong>of</strong> God that we ... should<br />
form classes <strong>and</strong> take upon us the care <strong>of</strong> churches<br />
in the fear <strong>of</strong> God.” Primitive Methodist missionaries<br />
were sent to New York in 1829. An <strong>American</strong><br />
conference was established in 1840.<br />
Missionary efforts reach into Guatemala, Spain<br />
<strong>and</strong> other countries. The denomination joins in<br />
