The database is part of a system that includes topographic map names and bibliographic references. The names of books and historic maps that confirm the feature or place name are cited. Variant names, alternatives to official federal names for a feature, are also recor ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |

Free Will Baptists or Free Baptists are a group originating from General Baptists that emphasizes the teaching of free salvation and free will. The movement can be traced back to the General Baptists in 17th century England. In 1702, Paul Palmer would go on to establish the Free Will movement in North Carolina and in 1727 formed the Free Will Baptist Church of Chowan. Many Calvinists became Free Will Baptists in the 19th century. With the establishment of Free Will Baptists in the South, Benjamin Randall developed the movement in the Northeastern United States. Being the Free Will Baptists a group originating from General Baptists, they, in common with other groups of Puritan Dissenters from the Church of England, followed the Brownist notion of self-governance of local churches. This notion of free will, however, was a systematic rejection of many Puritans, including even General Baptists, due to its overall religious beliefs and lack of social mobility. History Free W ...
