I’m really surprised a Primative Baptist Church agreed to do the service.

If he didn’t know Christ (and his actions indicated he didn’t) he busted the doors of hell wide open.

Worth re-reading about the Primitive Baptist Church (we know of three members ~ John Leland who wrote the First Amendment (and invented gospel music), Abe Lincoln's father and Abe LIncoln's mother.

This one is part of the currently "larger" wing known as the African-American Primitive Baptist Church ~ and they are also known to use musical instruments.

Theologically this division of Baptists are probably as close as you can get to the Christian Church Movement and still use Baptist in the name.

Now, about using their building for a memorial service, there are folks out there who RENT church facilities for that purpose. Can't tell from the news pieces what the reason is in this case so looked up the church on the net and they have some videos. In one the preacher announces a new Saturday "HEAT SERVICE". In another there's a PRAISE SERVICE. They use a drum set while standing in place and bouncing (No Dancing in this group).
