Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Discourses on Several Evangelical Subjects: Tending to Illustrate the Influence of the Doctrines of Grace, Upon Holiness in Heart and Life At first, as it was necessary, God communicated his mind immediately to certain individuals, commanding them at the same time to publish it to others in his name. The revelation to those chosen heralds came upon their own minds in such a godlike manner, as fully satisfied them, upon cool examination, that it proceeded from the one supreme God; and their publication of it to others was accompanied with such authentic marks of his signet to their message, as made it evident to the senses, as well as to the reason and conscience, of the unprejudiced, that the instructions they delivered were not their own dreams, but the undoubted oracles of God. But though these oracles given by inspiration contained the only infallible standard of truth and duty, yet the authority of the ministry was not confined to the persons of the inspired men who published or committed them to writing; for; during the intermission of that inspiration which distinguished these extraordinary messengers, and after it had ceased altogether, the institution of public teachers was continued in the church, with authority from God, to minister, to illustrate, and enforce, his oracles already on record. He gave some apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and after them appointed pastors and teachers, to be continued in succession to the end of time, for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.
