J. D. Tant vs W. A. Campbell (Missionary Baptist)
December 4, 1924
Mt. Nebo, Arkansas

(By J. D. Tant)

I recently held a six day debate with W. A. Campbell at Mt. Nebo, Ark. We held this debate in a Baptist stronghold, and in their church house where they refused to let me preach the gospel last May. The debate was largely attended. Many of the Baptists had never heard the gospel before. There was not an unkind word spoken on either side. This was strictly a Bible investigation. Mr. Campbell forgot himself only twice in calling us "Campbellites." He acted gentlemanly all the way through, and I feel that much good was accomplished.

Mr. Campbell is a strong man and one of the ablest Baptist debaters I have met, as he rejects Christ, Moses, all the prophets, and the apostles. He also reject the word of God where it conflicts with the word of God. Like all other Baptist preachers, he cannot talk 20 minutes without contradicting himself. In meeting Baptist preachers in Bible discussions we have a great opportunity of preaching the gospel to hundreds of good people who would not otherwise hear it. I am glad that I am still in the ring and set for the defense of the word.
