The Primitive Advent Christian Church developed out of a controversy centering on the preaching of a Reverend Whitman, a minister of the Advent Christian Church in West Virginia. Whitman opposed both footwashing and re-baptizing reclaimed backsliders. Proponents of these two practices organized the Primitive Advent Christian Church.
