Leland on Evangelistic Preaching

"I conclude that the eternal purposes of God, and the freedom of the human will, are both truths; and it is a matter of fact, that the preaching that has been most blessed of God, and most profitable to men, is the doctrine of sovereign grace in the salvation of souls, mixed with a little of what is called Arminianism.”

It has been affirmed by some that Elder Leland was one of those who helped to found the "Primitive Baptist" (Hardshell) denomination. I have shown from statements of Elder Leland that he was a soul winning evangelist, one who believed in means, in my ongoing book - "The Hardshell Baptist Cult," and such citations as that above also show that he was no Hardshell in heart.
