Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Pitts-Street Chapel Lectures In Boston, ten of the Unitarian Societies unite - under the name of the Benevolent Fraternity of Churches - to support Free Chapels, and to send ministers to those having none. As these ministers are limited to no class, they are called Ministers-at-large. Connected with the Ministry-at-large, is Pitts-Street Chapel. The "Pitts-Street Chapel Associates," a society of men, last year invited ministers from six denominations to preach at the Chapel from the text, "What shall I do to be saved?" This course of sermons was eminently successful as to attendance and results. This year the same association invited clergymen from six denominations to preach a series of sermons in which each should plainly declare why he is compelled to hold and teach his creed. The interest in this course was so wide spread and intense, that a call has been made for the publication of the same. Hence the issue of the present volume. By having and publishing this course, some have been led to ask as to the Chapel: "What is your distinctive belief? or have you none?" We answer, that we have a distinctive and a distinct belief, which may be hinted at here. I. - 1. We find no command as to the form of church government in Scripture, and therefore adopt that which we prefer, namely: the Congregational. 2. We adopt sprinkling as the mode of baptism, not because we recognize it as the precise form used by our Lord, but because it obeys his command completely. 3. The sacrament of the Lord´s Supper we hold open to all Christ´s disciples. II. - 1. As to natural theology, and matters pertaining to reason, in common with all others, we study nature and man. 2. As to revealed theology, while we do not hold to the plenary inspiration of the Scriptures, still, the Bible is our only and sufficient rule of faith and practice. 3. We accept it with devout gratitude, not as a substitute for reason, or a fetter upon reason, but as a gift from God in matters which our reason cannot reach. 4. We acknowledge no authority for interpreting the Word. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
