Baptist History, Heritage and Distinctives – Dutton Lane Part FOUR of FOUR
Another interesting event concerned a man named William Cocker who was heard to say on many occasions that he would rather go to hell than heaven if going to heaven required him to be a Baptist. But, providentially finding himself at a place where Dutton Lane was preaching, he decided he would hear what the Baptist had to say. Before the sermon ended, William Cocker fell to the ground and cried, “Lord, have mercy upon me! What shall I do to be saved?” He would become a committed Baptist, a defender of the cause he once despised.
Dutton Lane continued to preach almost to the day of his death, and his Christian life was always beyond reproach.
