34; From childhood you have known the Bible, which can make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus." (2 Tzm.3:1s. Bible), which he took with him; like the great family Bible, from which I often read to you; the reading in all is the same." 34;man of the world." He was an honest and honorable man, of excellent morals, kind, cordial and sociable in his dealings with others.
Words, you Ijmow, are signs of ideas, and we get the idea, or meaning, from the words of one language, and express it by using the words of another language.' But all good people want to do good: they want to do exactly what God tells them."
CHAPTER IV
She finished the verse and stood in deep reflection, while another in the class read: "And when they came up out of the water," etc. He was truly delighted at the possibility of applying this text to the minds of his students. They were experiencing something of the effects of "coals of fire in their heads."
The affairs of the kitten, the garden and the flowers gave her very pleasant work. When they came out of the water, while a deep silence reigned in the whole congregation, little Mel-. And when they had come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord took away Philip,'' etc.
They were not at the jailer's house because they were out of jail.
CHAPTER VIII
It is said that she boldly and publicly declares that the Bible is a Baptist book. And it would be good if Mellie could be influenced to leave the Bible alone for a while. Brown, ''for a child of Mellie's age to have turned the world upside down by reading a little in the Bible.
Of course it gives the impression that the Bible is so clearly in favor of the particular views of the Baptists that everyone would become a Baptist if they read it without prejudice.'' Farnsworth had gone, Mellie said, "Mom, I'm going to read this new book, but before I start, I want you to tell me about the pictures in the Bible. God didn't make them or direct man to put them in Bible; therefore pictures representing men and things are in some Bibles and not in others."
I think reading doesn't suit some people, and they draw pictures in the Bible to try to get children to believe things that aren't taught there. She could only interpret certain expressions to mean that using the Bible too freely was dangerous to certain tenets of her church. She had not even allowed herself to doubt that the Bible was the trust of her church in defense of its practice.
I believe that the man who wrote this book did it only to confuse people and prevent them from understanding the Bible. The Bible is God's book and everything he put in it is correct; and if dr. And you're going to do exactly what the Bible tells you to do, aren't you?'' Mellie asked.
CHAPTER X
If you believe you are a sinner and are sincerely seeking deliverance, all the promises of the Bible are yours. That he was under obligations to obey the demands of the gospel was a thing he had not considered. If not, the sign placed upon it in the solemn name of the Trinity, testifies to what is false.
He then read from the book (Confession of Faith): "When any transgressor has been condemned to be put out of the fellowship of the church, it is proper that the sentence should be publicly pronounced upon him. The Baptists teach regeneration by the direct operation of the Holy Spirit, which you deny. You deny the operation of the Holy Spirit only through the written word - you deny the direct influence on the heart.
The application of the virtues of this atonement to the heart of the sinner, so that its effects may be experimentally realized. This church adhered to the old custom of holding a meeting once a month on Saturday to conduct the general business of the church. The flaming sword in the hands of righteousness was an emblem of the wrath of God for man's transgression.
When he came out of the baptismal waters of Jordan, the Holy Spirit came in the likeness of a >. It is biblical; it satisfies the conscience; and illustrating the principal doctrines of the gospel.” He had never thought that the flaming sword had not been taken down, yet turned every way to guard the way to the Tree of Life.
This view of the subject troubled him, and he saw that the only way to be saved was by trusting in Christ, who is the way, the truth, and the life. 34;By the works of the law no flesh can be justified; but Christ is the end of the law unto righteousness to every one that believeth."
CHAPTER XVI
34; Of course, - answered Melli, - but the very argument that proves that they should communicate together, proves that they should live together in the same church. Come on, Melli, don't accuse us of more than we are guilty of. I have to agree that the practice of the Baptists is completely consistent with their belief in the premises.
Others believe all that Baptists do, and if they would stop there we could all easily unite, but they would go beyond what is revealed in the Bible, and teach 'for doctrines the commandments of men.' 165 er subjects for baptism, and as Baptists cannot find authority for it in the Bible, they cannot consent to it. Someone is wrong-someone was unscripturally baptized; . first in the mode or action, and second in the design.
Pilate declared his innocence of the blood of Christ by the simple act of washing his hands in the presence of the people. It was not the water but the act of washing in the water that declared his innocence. But when her doctrine was known and understood, . as in the days of the apostles, the two afforded a wonderful comparison. "Christ instituted two ordinances in his church: baptism and the Lord's Supper.
Participating in this is not to show our love for family and relatives, our respect for our friends, or confidence in the Christianity of our neighbors. It was established in the church, and must only be observed by the church in an ecclesiastical capacity. She joined the army of the Lord with a firm and fixed purpose that ensures fidelity to his cause; and whether she lives to a good old age, or is early called to her reward, we leave her with the assurance that her end will be peace.
APPENDIX
RosENMULLER says: • • To baptize means to submerge or submerge the body, or a part of the body to be baptized, by going under water. TURRETIN says: • 'The word baptism is of Greek origin which means to baptize, to immerse, to immerse. WILSON says: •'To baptize, to immerse one in water, to immerse one in water.' d.
Vossrus says: • • To hapise means to crash.' 'f WETSTEIN says: ''To baptize is to dip, to dip. 179 Stuart and others have amply proved that this word means to dip, dip, or dive, and that it means nothing else. Hence this word was used, which means strictly and positively, just what He intended and nothing else.
Bapto is found three times in the New Testament and it also means immersion, but it is never used for baptism. If, as some say, baptism means to wash, here is only a word that expresses it. Keo means to pour over and is found several times in various combinations, but is never used for baptism.
If baptism is pouring water on the candidate, why is this word not sometimes used to express it. Katha,rizo means to cleanse, to cleanse, and is found thirty times, but never applied to the ordinance of baptism. If, as some say, the ordinance meant to cleanse, this word would have expressed it.
WHAT THE SCHOLARS SAY
Thus baptisru is a picture of his participation both in Christ's death and in the resurrection. 117: "There can be no doubt that the original form of baptism—the very meaning of the word—was complete immersion in the deep waters of baptism." 4d years ago, but it was primitive and apostolic, no case of baptism standing recorded by any other mode, for the first three hundred years, except a few cases of clinically baptized, lying in bed.
If any practice of the early church is clearly established, it is immersion.' '-Kendrick on.
