Frequently Asked Questions?
Practice of the ChurchThe worship service is patterned after the New Testament example and authority which consists of congregational singing, prayer and preaching. Musical instruments are not used in the services because there is no New Testament command or example for them. Even though musical instruments were in existence during the time that Christ established his church, there is no record of their use in the worship services. We do believe in singing and making melody in the heart to the Lord. (Ephesians 5:19, Colossians 3:16) There are no Sunday Schools for lack of New Testament authority. Their beginning was not until the 18th century in England, and then it was only to teach reading, writing and arithmetic to under-privileged children. However, this does not mean in any way that Primitive Baptists do not believe in teaching children. The scriptures teach that parents are to teach their children at home privately (Ephesians 6:4), and then under the sound of a gospel minister in the public assembly. Primitive Baptists do not believe in tithing as this was an Old Testament command. However, they do believe in giving, by laying aside upon the first day of the week as God has prospered and one purposes in his heart, cheerfully supporting the Church. (1st Corinthians 16:2, 2nd Corinthians 9:7, Acts 20:35) Primitive Baptists believe that God’s children should deny ungodliness and worldly lusts and live soberly, righteously and godly in this present world. They should live unto him that died for them and shew forth praises of him that called them out of darkness into his marvelous light.
