Assn. persuaded some General Baps. in this state to become Regular Baps. (read Particular Baptists). That group went along, baptizing about 25-30 a year. In 1801, some 46 years later, they experienced the Second Great Awakening. I came to NC 36 years ago and found a few preachers of Sovereign Grace here. Today there are many more. Can it be that I am hearing the coming of tsunami of th Third Great Awakening, the one in which the whole earth is filled with His knowledge and glory as the waterrs that cover the sea? Such is the prayer I have been praying for about 35 years. Remember sirs that Edwards Humble Attempt plea led to the Great Century of Missions and very likely to the Second Great Awakening, and HE WAS ONE OF THE PRIMARY LEADERS IN THE FIRST GREAT AWAKENING. We also need to remember that every one of the five points o the TULIP ACROSTIC IS A INVITATION TO BE SAVED, TO TRUST CHRIST. JESUS HIMSELF USED THESE DOCTRINES TO INVITE THE WOMAN OF CANAAN TO BE SAVED, EVEN THE DOCTRINE OF REPROBATION. See Mt.1521-28. Note the word dog. There is total depravity, reprobation, etc. in that word. Jesus used it of the woman. She agreed. She thought He had thrown her a piece of candy. Sh said Truth, Lord, the dogs eat of the crumbs that fall from her masters' table. Luther Rice, the father of Southern Baptist Missions, said PREDESTINATION IS IN THE BIBLE AND YOU HAD BETTER PREACH IT. Dr. Euseldin in this Intro. to his translation of Wm. Ames, Marrow of Divinity, declared that PREDESTINATION IS A INVITATION TO BEGIN ONE'S SPIRITUAL PILGRIMAGE. Gentlemen, We might better get ready. I think I hear the sound of a going in the mulberry trees. I certainly pray that we will hear not only the sound but behold the reality of the greatest awakening in world history. Blessed be His Holy Name. Sirs: Sovereign Grace came to North Carolina in 1755, when at least two ministers from the Philadelphia Bal.

If charges of heresy are being bandied about, what will happen when a full-blown Calvinist is nominated and voted into the office of president of the convention? Stay tuned for the Fun in Indy '08. This should get interesting.
