Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Mode and Subjects of Baptism: Being the Substance of Two Discourses; Preached at Cedar Creek Church, Anson Co;, N. C.; September 17, 1843 "Go ye, therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the world." In discussing the subject of Christian Baptism I shall inquire, I. Into the mode of baptism. II. Who are the proper subjects of baptism. 1. There is no moral worth in mode: but mode is the mere method or manner of doing a thing, and not the thing itself. This proposition is generally and strictly true, according to the assent of the enlightened world; with the exception of one religious sect, which objects to the general principle so far as Christian Baptism is concerned, - and that sect, not more respectable for numbers, or more distinguished for piety and learning than many others. To illustrate the foregoing general principle we may remark, First, That the pure worship of God is of equal importance with the ordinance of baptism, and yet none attach exclusive importance to any particular mode of worship. A Presbyterian congregation worship God in prayer, - all standing. A Methodist congregation worship Him, - all kneeling. A Baptist congregation worship Him, - some standing and some kneeling. And so in singing, - some worship Him standing, and some sitting. Here are several modes of worship, - modes without importance, as all agree; for one denomination will not say to another, "you do not worship, because you do not conform to our mode." Secondly, In the sacrament of the Lord´s supper, - a sacrament of equal importance with the sacrament of baptism, - there is, by the assent of all, no moral worth in mode. Methodists receive it kneeling. Baptists receive it sitting. Presbyterians receive it sitting at a table spread, as if they were about taking a common supper; while the original pattern was to receive it reclining, according to the custom of the Jews at their meals.
