Strict Baptists represent the strain of Particular Baptists that stayed on the "hyper-Calvinistic" course, maintained the practice of strict or closed communion, and remained aloof from the Baptist Union of 1813.
The GraceBaptist Assembly churches represent a modification of Strict Baptists close to the "Fullerism" of the 18th century.
These churches additionally meet together in three regional associations - Association of GraceBaptistChurches (East Anglia), Association of GraceBaptistChurches (East Midlands), Association of GraceBaptistChurches (South East) - and one fellowship - the Fellowship of Northern Particular BaptistChurches.
The holiness movement among Baptists in south Georgia began late in the 19th century in Wilcox County among ministers in the Little River BaptistAssociation.
At the annual session of the association in 1893, fellowship was withdrawn from two churches "because of their doctrine of holiness or carnal perfection".
In 1934, the Baptist Purity Association was formed by members excluded from the Holiness BaptistAssociation for teaching and practicing the substitution of water for grape juice in the Lord's supper.
