Here is another interesting tid bit: I came across a book which contained memoirs and diary entries of a man who was very influential in a rural parish in So. Louisiana. These writing were from around 1870. Apparently, he at some point came under the teachings and influence of Alexander Campbell(Cambellite Church of Christ) whom he mentioned by name. It caused him to repudiate his Baptist associations and upbringing. He rejected the Baptist view of election which he spoke of as monolithic view of the Baptists of that day. Unfortunately, he fell sink line and hook for the Pelagian redux and spent a lot of time discussing mans free agency and self determination.
That is indeed interesting. I’m under the impression that in those years many were swayed by the Cambellites because of eschatology, though I don’t know enough about that movement to be confident that’s correct.
I do know that my own 19th century Southern Baptist ancestors were Calvinists.
