Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from The Baptist Principle: In Its Application to Baptism and the Lord´s Supper The Baptist Principle. Chapter I. The Principle Defined. The true organizing principle of Baptist churches may be stated in three words: it is Obedience to Christ. An essential part of obedience to Christ consists in persuading to obey him. Christ said, "Be baptized." This, therefore, is one of his commandments. To "be baptized" is, so far, obedience. But Christ said also, "Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you." This is another of his commandments. To "teach´ to obey is obedience. Obedience in this full sense - that is, to obey and to teach to obey - is the mission of Baptists. We insist upon baptism, not because it is a rite, but because it is an ordinance. It is not the baptism so much as it is the obedience that concerns us. To have been baptized is, comparatively, nothing; to have obeyed is, comparatively, all. Not to "be baptized," but to obey in being baptized, is what the Baptist principle requires. The Baptist principle of full obedience to Christ requires this, first, of us ourselves, and then requires us to require it, secondly, of others.
