Thomas succeeded his father as preacher at the Metropolitan Tabernacle. He later went to New Zealand (Aotearoa) and started the Baptist Tabernacle in Queen Street, Auckland.

He married Sarah Ann Jacob in 1881, and was father to four surviving children, from 1882 to 1891: Grace Susie, Dorothea, Constance, and Charles Oliver Spurgeon. Since some of their children are presumably still living, further information would need to be obtained from, or by contacting, one of a great many Spurgeon societies on the net. Charles senior was Pastor of Nottingham Baptist Church.
Where in Scripture can you find Jesus going into Hell for three days after the crucifixion?
Nowhere does it state that Jesus went to hell for three days. The Bible record has always been taken to infer that He went there for an indefinite period of time between His burial and resurrection. His body, however, was in the tomb for three days as reckoned at the time.
Scriptures:
Acts 2:31 "He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption."
1 Peter 3:19 "By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;"
Matthew 12:40 "For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."

How do you win a theological argument with a fundamental Baptist?
You can't. To win an argument with anyone, you have to be able to discuss things in a rational, logical manner. That is not possible when it comes to religion. It is a belief with nothing to prove it so there can be no logical argument about it.
Answer:
Generally to "win" an argument it means one side or the other must admit that his was the incorrect view. In religious arguments the position is generally "I'm right, no matter what you say!" and the argument is just sounding off about positions. See appended flowchart for the requirements for a real argument.
Answer: One should never go into an argument with the intention of "winning". One should only enter into argument with the intention of putting across their point of view, as YOU could be the one in the wrong, maybe even both of you.
Is Dr. Stanley Ill? We notice that he sits much of the time now and we were concerned about his health.
Dr. Stanley had knee surgery and he must rest his knee often according to doctor's orders. So he sits often even while preaching.
Is there any time that deacons in a church can make decisions without bringing to the congregation?
In a Baptist church, the main duty of leadership falls to the pastor/preacher, who is expected to lead his church according to the Bible. He is free to appoint deacons (or have them elected, etc.) and other leadership roles as he sees fit. Some pastors prefer alot of help; some prefer very little. Any and all authority that the deacons have is determined by the pastor.
What do you call a baptist minister Do you call him Pastor Smith Reverend Smith Mr Smith?
Answer
Pastor Smith.
Answer
Never Reverend, sometimes Brother, but usually Pastor. It varies a little between churches and individuals as to how they wish to be known. In some cases, they would be referred to as Dr. if they have a PhD in ministry/theology.
Amen
But you shouldn't call someone a doctor if they don't have a doctorate, though many elderly preachers are known to have been given honorary doctorates due to their generosity to a particular school.
Answer
Also, sometimes, Preacher Smith, or (say his first name is...Bob) you would say Preacher Bob. It depends on how formal the church is, how the pastor feels about it, and sometimes how young the pastor is.
Answer
Usually the Pastor/Preacher of the church lets you know what to call them. Most Baptist Pastor/Preacher will correct you or suggest that you call them one or the other, as far as I know, I have never heard one being called Minister or Brother by a congregation member. Now if you are also a Pastor/Preacher or another one is speaking to one, they usually call each other Brother.
To clarify on the one above:
I can't speak for churches and congregations in other places, but here in the south, it is extremely common for the congregation to call their mininster "Brother Joe". Actually, I have never even heard any member of a congregation to address or to refer to their minister as anything but "Brother Joe", especially with Baptist, Pentecostal, non-denominational, among others.
As for addressing or referring to them as "Doctor", there are quite a large number of ministers who do have a Ph.D in ministry/theology, and it is quite common to address and refer to them as "Doctor Smith".
Furthermore, "Reverend" is often thought by many to be reserved for God and Jesus, since they are the only ones to actually be revered.
Why don't Baptists have elders?
Baptists call their elders deacons. This name is in the Bible and many baptist churches try to follow the letter of the Bible when organizing their church.

The Symbol of COGIC
Church AuxiliariesAffiliate ChurchesCathedral Fine ArtsYouth MinistryMedia MinistryBookstoreHealth TipsAlford's MortuarySearch COGIC.ORG The Symbol of the Church Of God In Christ is an outgrowth of the Presiding Bishop's Coat of Arms which has become quite familiar to the Church. The design of the Official Seal of the Church was created in 1973 and adopted in the General Assembly in 1981 (April Session). The obvious GARNERED WHEAT in the center of the seal represents all of the people of the Church Of God In Christ, Inc. The ROPE of wheat which holds the shaft together represents the Founding Father of the Church, Bishop Charles Harrison Mason, who, at the call of the Lord, banded us together as a Brotherhood of Churches in the First Pentecostal General Assembly of the Church, in 1907. The date in the seal has a two-fold purpose; Firstly, to tell us that Bishop Mason received the baptism of the Holy Ghost in March 1907; and, Secondly, to tell us that it was because of this outpouring that Bishop Mason was compelled to call us together in November of 1907, to organize the Church Of God In Christ. The RAIN in the background represents the Latter Rain or the End-time Revivals which brought about the emergence of our Church along with other Pentecostal Holiness Bodies in the same era. The rain also serves as a challenge to the Church to keep Christ in the center of our worship and service, so that He may continue to use the Church Of God In Christ as one of the vehicles of Pentecostal Revival before the return of the Lord.
Welcome! Please take a seat and lets honor our pastor together!

What time does the bride enter the church for a 5 pm wedding?
It depends how early the church will let you get in, maybe there's a wedding, funeral or church service right before your wedding. Also are you getting ready at the church or somewhere else? Personally I'd want to get ready at the church if they had nice facilities and I'd get there 3 hours early, that means 2:00pm. Allowing myself 1 hour for hair, 1 hour for make-up, 30 minutes for pre-wedding pictures, because I dont care about seeing the groom before the ceremony and the rest of the time to get dressed and hang out with my bridesmaids.
Can a divorced man become a Baptist Pastor?
A minister can be divorced and be remarried but it will be examined in his interviews. Baptist churches are autonomous and can make their own decisions about how their church is run. Many Baptist churches will not let a person who is married a second time be a deacon of the church. A deacon is a lay person.
