Recently I had the pleasure to engage Ben Bogard in discussion near Denison, Tx. Bogard is a very pleasant man to engage in a discussion, and makes an effort to prove th doctrine he has espoused by the Bible, and possibly his arguments are as strong as can be made for his cause. It is refreshing to find a Baptist who will contend for the doctrine he espoused.
Most Baptists are far from pronounced in their doctrinal views, even though they are loyal to their church services. I think good always comes from a discussion when properly conducted. I have engaged in man y debates and think in every instance good came from them. In the great number I have engaged in, there was one regarding which I was doubtful that good resulted from it; but in a conversation a few days sense, I learned of a number of men who learned the truth from that discussion and the church of Christ became much stronger in that particular place.
We need more debates. Every member of the church needs to be indoctrinated; the fundamental principles need to be grounded in the members. I have never conducted a debate that did not result in good; and if at the time of the debate there was not a congregation, one was immediately established in that place.
