E. G. Creacy vs T. S. Payne (Holiness)
April 26, 1928
Champaign, Illinois
(By Victor W. Kelley)
Propositions have been signed for a four-day's discussion at Champaign, Illinois between E. G. Creacy, Horse Cave, Kentucky, editor of the "Primitive Christian" and T. S. Payne ("Unknown tongue" Holiness), President of the Bible Training School, Cleveland, Tennessee. Each will affirm that the church with which he is identified is scriptural in origin, doctrine, and practice. The debate will be held in Bradley Hall, on the second four of the Union Arcade Building, 715 South Wright Street beginning on May 1 and continuing four days, two days to each proposition.
There will be night sessions and each session will consist of four thirty-minute speeches. Payne could not be induced to sign specific propositions covering differences between the disputants on the subject of water baptism, Holy Spirit baptism, modern divine healing, and the operation of the Holy Spirit in conversion. The discussion promises to be a good one, and, as religious debates are not often held in the North, the brethren are urged to seize this opportunity to attend a good discussion. A special invitation is extended to our preaching brethren.
