John Leland began to feel the call of God working in his life as a young man. Later, in Virginia, God opened his eyes to the work He had for him to do. Leland became a pastor and evangelist in Virginia and Baptists suffered tremendous persecution. He was influential in the First Amendment to establish religious freedoms and liberty. He began with a flood of petitions (one time using a wheelbarrow to carry them all), pushing for separation of church and state.

Obadiah Holmes was born in England in 1606 when King James I ruled. By the time he was grown, he left the persecution in England, and found similar religious persecution in America. He was saved under John Clarke’s preaching, and became a strong Baptist. Holmes was later severely beaten at the whipping post in the Boston Square for his stand for Truth. God upheld him and his testimony affected many lives for good.

The New Testament church is marked by what it believes and what it does. When these essential principles are diluted in even the slightest sense, it is a step toward apostasy and irrelevance.
Right Ecclessiology will prevent the church from sliding into apostasy. Baptist principles are not secondary. They are primary for maintaining orthodoxy and obedience.
Baptist Distinctives are those Biblical doctrines that when taught and obeyed in our churches mark us as distinct from any other Christian sect.

Long before the Revolutionary war for freedom was fought, there was a Spiritual battle for liberty raging in Boston. September fifteenth, 1651 was no ‘tea party,’ but it was a day many people remembered for years to come.
Matthias Whitcomb is no stranger to suffering, but one day when he witnesses the barbaric beating of a Baptist man named Obadiah Holmes it changes his life. He begins to question a society and religion that condones and carries out such acts of violence against men and women who are only trying to serve their God. He begins to search the Scriptures and finds a truth so profound that he will never the same.
However, he quickly learns that the same people who once embraced him will now reject him because of what he has learned in the Bible—the very Bible they claim to live by! He must make a choice; God and His Word, or the dictates of man.
With God’s help, he determines to follow the way that many before him have walked. A way of suffering and hardship; a way of blessing and hope. It all started with one man who was
stricken with roses.

This series of lectures preached and taught in 1949 to a Southern Baptist Church urging them to “HOLD THAT LINE;” to stay with the Baptist distinctives; to not falter from the truths of the Word of God is as needed in our Baptist Churches today as it was back then.
We are seeing a falling away from these same TRUTHS at an even greater rate today, and in our Independent Baptist Churches as well. We could reiterate these messages, these lectures, these truths; we could SCREAM them from our lungs; we could preach them straight from the Word of God! We need as BAPTISTS to HOLD THAT LINE! We need to “…earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.”
