From looking online I determined you've already written the Bogard schism dissertation (found it on UMI). Would be interested in hearing about it from the horse's mouth so to speak.

It looks like, on a quick run through of his chapter on the "Anti-missionary" Baptists, that Graves takes much the same position on them as with the FWB. On the other hand, J. S. Newman quotes Rufus C. Burleson as saying there was nothing wrong with Primitive Baptist baptism: "...our Primitive or 'R. L.

The idea that the mainstream, as in the case of the 16th-century Romanists should be the ones accused of schism is startling--that might also apply to other schisms that have led through the years to our current Southern Baptist Convention.<BR/><BR/>It makes me Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
