Primitive Baptists

Uncommon card · No. 180500

Primitive Baptists – also known as Regular Baptists, Old School Baptists, Foot Washing Baptists, anti-missions Baptists, or, derisively, Hard Shell Baptists – are conservative Baptists adhering to a degree of Calvinist beliefs that coalesced out of the controversy among Baptists in the early 19th century over the appropriateness of mission boards, tract societies, and temperance societies. Primitive Baptists are a subset of the Calvinistic Baptist tradition. The adjective "primitive" in the name is used in the sense of "original".
