“Christians…here present…are desirous to be free from all men made creeds and traditions, and are willing to take the New Testament, or law of Christ, for your only rule of faith and practice” – R. G. Spurling, Barney Creek Meeting House August 19, 1886
1998-Summer
R. G. Spurling was a great man of God.
He certainly left a lasting legacy
One of the greatest before all creeds ever began
He should have stayed a Baptist he would have been far more biblically correct…He went from 1 Baptism of the Holy Spirit as a Baptist to 2 Baptisms of the Holy Spirit as a Pentecostal..
I don’t think so. He left the Baptist when he discovered the Holiness message.
I love old photos like this. Zooming in on his face, his personality really seems to become manifest. His face, and especially his eyes, seems to be both fiery and kind. I wonder, in what year this photo was taken?
John Wayne Gacy a Pentecostal converted to Roman Catholicism.
