Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Reply to Lectures: On the Nature, Subjects, and Mode of Christian Baptism Dear Brethern in the Lord: Fourteen, years ago; I was called in the Providence of God, to the care of your souls. At that time you were few in number, feeble in resources, and like your brethren in the days of Paul, "a sect every where spoken against." Immediately after my connection with you in the pastoral relation, I was called upon to maintain the cause of truth against fearful forms of error. On various occasions, I have opposed from the pulpit, and now deem it my duty to expose through the press, the doctrine of Rantismal Salvation. A doctrine, while it mutilates the scheme of "salvation by grace," utterly sets aside the authority of Christ as Lawgiver in Zion, and wherever it prevails, entirely supercedes the ordinance of Christian Baptism. It also destroys the distinction God has made between the church and the world. Hence, in all countries where the Romish church is established, and in some Protestant provinces, all children are christened by Rantism, - all of the inhabitants are members of the church, though they may be infidels in sentiment, and more degraded than heathen in morals; and consequently, pure primitive Christianity, both in spirit and form, is almost wholly unknown to them. With what ability and fidelity I have opposed those errors, I leave you to judge. Of one thing I am certain, that is, that God has unequivocally given to us the seal of his approbation, in the fact, that he has increased our number from twenty-seven, to more than four hundred, notwithstanding several churches have been organized of members dismissed from us for that purpose. While we continue to strive together for the faith and practice of the gospel in the strength of the Lord, let us also cultivate those graces which adorn the christian character - at once the fruits of the Spirit, and a sure pledge of joys to come.
