On Tuesday, after third Lord's day in November at Pilot Oak, Kentucky.
Elder T. F. Moore moderated for Brown; A. P. Johnson moderated for Boaz; debaters were most courteous. Brown affirmed believer saved before baptism. One amusing thing was his argument on Mark 16:16. When Boaz turned the argument against him he turned infidel on his own witness, saying he was not sure Mk. 16:16 was genuine.
Boaz asked him if prayer was essential to salvation: to which he answered, "yes." Then Boaz asked: "On which side of faith does it come?" This he would not answer, for it was clearly pointed out to him by his opponent that if it comes before faith he need not expect it to be answered (James 1:7), and if it comes after faith, then the sinner was not pardoned at faith, but when he prayed. Bro. Brown saw how utterly impossible it was to answer this, hence he remained discreetly silent.
On the third day, Boaz began his affirmation (Baptism to a believing penitent is one of the conditions of pardon from past sins) by clearly defining each term, so no one could mistake the point at issue. He wielded in force the word of God. He showed that the church was founded on the Rock, and since it was the fullness of Christ, it covered all the Rock, and no man could build on the Rock unless he was in the church (Eph 1:23). But no man could be in the church without baptism, hence could not be in Christ without it. The church is a purchased possession and we get into it by baptism. Boaz is a young man, but he is a power for the truth against error.
There were nine Baptist preachers there, while we had three beardless boys, Boaz, Calley, Johnson. "It is our sincere prayer that many were turned to the one consecrated altar, where the pure, enlightened adoration of hearts may shine forth with heavenly brightness; and that men will no longer seek to encompass life's greatest problem from the unholy practice of sectarians, which cluster like barnacles around these man-made shrines."
