Baptist History, Heritage and Distinctives – Ben M. Bogard \u2013 Baptized in an Ice Covered Pond<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Baptist minister, author, educator, radio speaker, participant in 237 religious debates, and founder of the American Baptist Association. He was the son of tobacco tenant farmers, M. L. and Nancy Bogard. In 1873, the Bogards moved to Caseyville, Kentucky, where Bogard attended school, Woodland Baptist Church, and evangelical camp meetings. In February 1885, he was baptized in an ice-covered pond during a church service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1887-88, he attended Georgetown College in Kentucky. He was ordained as a Baptist minister and began a two-year education at Bethel College in Russellville, Kentucky. In 1891, he married Lynn Oneida Meacham Owen, a widow with a daughter. They had a son, Douglas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From 1892 to 1898, Bogard served as pastor of several churches in Kentucky and Missouri. In 1895, Bogard met John Newton Hall of Fulton, Kentucky, a leader of the Landmark Baptist movement, which emphasized certain “landmarks” in the Bible, including a literal interpretation. Bogard embraced the Landmark faith, defending it through public debates and writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1901, he became half-owner and editor of the Arkansas Baptist, gaining full editorial control in 1904.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
