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 />
