For Rigdon, the disputes with Campbell became intolerable at a meeting of the Mahoning Baptist Association in August of 1830, when Campbell publicly humiliated him. Campbell was a well-educated and skilled debater who believed that his interpretation of the Bible was the only interpretation that any reasonable person could come to.
Notes :
Cowdrey et al., 2005, p. 313Almon B. Green: In the annual meeting of the Mahoning Association held in Austintown in August, 1830, about two months before Sidney Rigdons professed conversion to Mormonism, Rigdon preached Saturday afternoon. He had much to say about a full and complete restoration of the ancient gospel. He spoke in his flowing style of what the Disciples had accomplished, but contended that we had not accomplished a complete restoration of the Apostolic Christianity. He contended such restoration must include community of goods holding all in common stock, and a restoration of the spiritual gifts of the apostolic age. He promised that although we had not come up to the apostolic plan in full yet as we were improving God would soon give us a new and fuller revelation of his will. After the Book of Mormon had been read by many who heard Rigdon on that occasion, they were perfectly satisfied that Rigdon knew all about that book when he preached that discourse. Rigdons sermon was most thoroughly refuted by Bro. Campbell, which very much offended Rigdon https://web.archive.org/web/20180219212830/http://thedigitalvoice.com/enigma/wrw/1977DavD.htm
