thumb Progressive Primitive Baptists are a Christian denomination comprising 95 churches located in nine US states and one church in Haiti.〔Pat McCoy, editor, Directory Of Progressive Primitive Baptist Churches and Ministers, Culloden, Georgia: ''The Banner Herald'', 2013〕 The denominational name consists of three parts. They are identified with the Baptist tradition as they baptize only believers who have made a profession of faith and they only baptize by immersion. The word ''Primitive'' in the name refers to their adherence to the original principles of their Baptist ancestors, the Particular Baptists of England. Their articles of faith are based on the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith. The word ''Progressive'' refers to their inclusion of musical instruments, bible studies, youth camps, mission and charity organizations that are rejected by other factions of Primitive Baptists, often referred to as "old line" or "old school". == Controversy Over The Use of Musical Instruments == In the early 1900s, Associations of the Primitive Baptists in the state of Georgia began to exclude churches from their membership that utilized the organ in worship services. The churches that utilized instrumental music in worship began to be known as Progressive Primitive Baptists. These churches formed their own Associations and became the Progressive Primitive Baptist denomination. The minutes of the 1907 Echeconnee Association (in Central Georgia) record an exclusion of churches and include this resolution outlining the Association's stance:〔Minutes of the 1907 Echeconnee Association meeting at Salem Church, Crawford County, Georgia, September 13-15th 1907〕 Resolution 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Progressive Primitive Baptists」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
