From Our Baptist Heritage: In I Corinthians 9:19, we see a paradox that Paul presents to the Corinthians. He was free from all men while being bound to all men. His freedom related to his position as an apostle (I Corinthians 9:1- “Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen […]

Lincoln, the Movie
posted by Joel Taylor
Well, Stephen Spielberg has done it again, no doubt. This film on Lincoln has all the promise of a blockbuster hit this coming November. Even if it’s a huge, big fat lie from the Lincoln cult celebrated not only in Hollywood, but within academia and in the general public (educated by ignorant public educators). It’s […]
The Church in Eternity Past
posted by Joel Taylor
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him, in love, He predestined us to adoption as […]
Before Don Rickles, There Was Martin Luther
posted by Joel Taylor
It’s been said that if you’re in the ministry, you need to have a soft heart and the skin of a Rhino. Young pastor’s will find out very soon in their ministry how monstrous church members can be at times. They will find themselves insulted, lambasted, criticized up one side and down another and maybe […]
Behind the Dixie Stars

Did you know that when ‘the war’ started, the largest plantation in Charleston, SC, was owned by a free black man – who owned 200 slaves? Here’s a 7 minute Documentary featuring Nelson W. Winbush, a black son of confederate black soldier Luis Napoleon Nelson who fought under Nathan Bedford Forest. A series of interviews, […]
New York, Created By Slave Cotton
posted by Joel Taylor
Though it runs contrary to popular thought, Southerners were not alone in establishing or perpetuating the institution of slavery in America. Although most slaves were ultimately purchased by Southerners, the slave trade was established by the North. The institution would never have taken root without the profit-motivated slave-traders of New England. It was Massachusetts in […]
The Black Robe Regiment
posted by Joel Taylor
The Black Robed Regiment was the name that the British placed on the courageous and patriotic American clergy during the Founding Era (a backhanded reference to the black robes they wore). Significantly, the British blamed the Black Regiment for American Independence, and rightfully so, for modern historians have documented that: There is not a right […]
Remembering Martin Luther King, Jr.
posted by Joel Taylor
Today is the date, April 4, 1968 that MLK was assassinated. I take no pleasure in such a horrendous act, and certainly do not celebrate the man’s murder. However, I would like to take this opportunity to pour salt – and lyme – on the myth and contrived legacy of ‘Dr.’ [cough] Martin Luther King, […]
Meet A Brother & Sister in Christ
posted by Joel Taylor
If you were wondering about the absence of posts here last week, it is because we took a short excursion to Williamsburg, Yorktown and Jamestown VA. Over 200 years of American history is to be seen in these parts, and all of it roughly 20 minutes apart; from the arrival of the Jamestown settlement with […]
Battle of Athens: Restoring the Rule of Law
posted by Joel Taylor
On 2 August 1946, some Americans, brutalized by their county government, used armed force to restore it. These Americans wanted honest, open elections. For years they had asked for state or Federal election monitors to prevent vote fraud — forged ballots, secret ballot counts, and intimidation by armed sheriff’s deputies — by the local political […]
America–Where Almost Everything is Illegal
posted by Joel Taylor
Do you have any idea how much is illegal in America these days? It seems like almost everything is! Below is a 40 minute special report by John Stossel called “Illegal Everything”. From kid’s lemonade stands to raising your own chickens and hogs, “Big Brother” has nearly destroyed (if they haven’t already), the pioneering spirit […]
Protestant Heresies
posted by Joel Taylor
Baptists of our day must remember that we are not Catholic or Protestants! I want to include several quotes from some "Patriarchs of the Faith" that absolutely reveal why we cannot yoke up with the Catholics and Protestants. John Wesley- "By baptism, we, who are ‘by nature the children of wrath’ are made the children […]
Film on Baptist History: Shubal Stearns & The Over-Mountain Men
posted by Joel Taylor
This looks to be a very entertaining and helpful film on better understanding the history of Baptists in early America. I know one thing for certain: the guy in the trailer teaser below sounds to me alot like some young, arrogant, new calvinists ‘elder’ punks I’ve run across. Bless their hearts – I mean that. […]
The Truth About New Calvinism – Its History, Doctrine & Character (Vol. 1)
posted by Joel Taylor
There’s a new book that many readers of 5ptsalt may want to check out. I’ve been reading the authors blog for awhile now, and, I have to say, it has my attention. In fact, I just received a copy of it today in the mail from the author. [Note: This is not a formal book […]
American Capitalism Gone With A Whimper
posted by Joel Taylor
Y5EQUH3D6ATE The following article was written by Russian Stanislav Mishin in April of 2009. Though the article itself is two years old, it is still quite relevant and thought provoking. Would that Americans saw America with such clarity as this man. Of course, I cannot say I fully agree with everything said here and the opinions […]
Tattoos: Pagan Demonism, Shamanism, Baal Worship & Occult Mysticism
posted by Joel Taylor
I recently posted an article on Tattoos and Body Modifications in which, I’d hoped it would be seen that one of the core issues in professing Christians getting tattoos (or body modifications) is because they are discontent with how God made them in the first place and seeking happiness in something other than God. For […]
The Pulpit, Reformation Day & Idolatry
posted by Joel Taylor
“I have preached the gospel now these thirty years and more, and some of you will scarcely believe it, but before I come to address the congregation in this Tabernacle, I tremble like an aspen leaf. And often, in coming down this pulpit, have I felt my knees knock together–not that I am afraid of […]
