History
The Separate Baptists had no formal statement of faith before 1776. They only followed the Bible. In 1776 there was split in the Separate Baptist movement over the Arminian system. This split was in part due to the preaching of John Walker who was known as a "very able preacher". At the 1776 session of the General Association of the Separate Baptist in Virginia elder John Walker use Corinthians 13:11 as his text in the introductory sermon. After the 1776 association many in the Separate Baptist who supported the Arminian view moved west into Kentucky and Tennessee. The Separate Baptist who are now known as the Separate Baptist in Christ come from these people who settled in Kentucky and Tennessee. They started the churches who formed(in 1786) the Kentucky Association of the Separate Baptist. Over the years a large number of these churches folded into other groups like the United Baptist or Campbellites (also known as the Christian Churches). The South Kentucky Association of Separate Baptist choose not to stay in any union.

It dominates the relation with the self, with the past, not infrequently with the present, always with History and, even, with the European tradition.”

“The principle office of history I take to be this: to prevent virtuous actions from being forgotten, and that evil words and deeds should fear an infamous reputation with posterity.”
