Bethany Regular Baptist Church - Kingsport, TN - Baptist Churches on Waymarking.com

Most "Old Regular Baptists" can trace their heritage back to the New Salem Association of United Baptists (eastern Kentucky). This "Bethany" church is part of the Union Association of Old Regular Baptist Association out of Pike County, KY.

The basic theology is based on the scripture "By Grace are ye saved through faith. Old Regulars believe in keeping with the "old ways." Their patriarchal organization follows a set of rules which has been lifted from the New Testament, forming the basis of their institution. The following are some examples: Women are denied a formal voice in church governance (I Cor. 14:34). Men are commanded to cut their hair, and women are admonished not to do so (I Cor. 11:14-15). Women must not dress in men's clothing, i.e. slacks, jeans, pantsuits (Deut. 22:5). Men are to command their own homes (Eph. 5:22-23), particularly those ordained as deacons (I Tim. 3:12). These scriptural rules, and others are staunchly followed. The Old Regulars pride themselves on the belief that their church is most closely representative of the early Christian Church of the New Testament. (visit link)
