Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sprinkling and Pouring, Spiritual Modes of Baptism: A Sermon, Preached by Order of the Presbytery of Tuskaloosa, and Published by Their Request "Then will T sprinkle clean water upon yon, and yo shall be clean; from all your filthiness, and from all your idols will I cleanse yon. A new heart will I give you, and anew spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh" - Ezekiel xxxvi: 25, 26. "And it shall come to pass afterwards, that 1 will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh." - Joel ii: 28, first clause. We have chosen these two passages from the ancient prophets, as the foundation of the present discourse, not merely because they contain terms descriptive of certain modes of baptism practiced by ourselves in common with the great mass of the Christian church, but mainly because they set forth in such clear light that which is the essence of this gospel ordinance. The prophet Ezekiel Here foretells of that great spiritual cleansing which God designed to perform through the gospel of bis Son. And the prophet Joel predicts that glorious and wide-spread "ministration of the Spirit," which began on the day of Pentecost; by the agency of which sinners were then, and are now, cleansed from sin. We are thus brought into contact with the very heart of the gospel - its saving doctrines, influences and effects. And it is here, brethren, we should ever go to learn the real nature of the Christian religion - the spirit of its observances and the design and meaning, and as far as necessary. the form of its ordinances. Instead of allowing the outward form to control our views of the substance, we should reverse the process.
