CONFE;SSION OF FAITH.
You ( and each of yon) believe that the Scriptures of
t?e Old and New Testament are given by inspirat1~11of God ; (1) and that they are a perfect rule of
faith and practice.(2) You believe that the Scriptures
teach the following important doctrines :
·
I. That there is one Goel, (3) the Father, the Son,
(1) 2 Tim. iii. 16. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and
is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in
righteousness. 2d Pet. i. 20, 21. Knowing this first, that no prophecy
For the prophecy
of the scripture is of any private int~rpretation.
came not in old time by the will of man; but holy men of God spake
as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
Heb. i. 1, 2. God, who at
sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers
by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son,
whom he bath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the
worlds.
(2) 2d Tim. iii. 17. That the man of God may be perfect, thorough·
ly furnished unto all good works. Ps. xii . 6. The words of the Lord
are pure words : as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven
times. Ps. exix. 104, 105. Through thy precepts I get understand.
ing: therefore I hate every false way. Thy word is a lamp unto my
feet, and a light unto my path. Ps. xix. 7 - 11. The law of the Lord
is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure,
making wise the simple. The statutes of the Lord are right, ,rejoicing
the heart : the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the
eyes. The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever: the judgments
of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are
they than gold, ye,a, than much fine gold : ~weeter also than honey and
the honey comb. Moreover, by them is thy servant warned: and in
keeping of them there is great reward. Prov. xxx. 5. Every word of
God is pure. Prov. vi. 23. For the commandment is a lamp ; and the
law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life.
(3) Deut. vi. 4. Hear, 0 Israel : The Lord our Gou is one Lord.
Ps. lxxxvi. 10. For thou art great, and doest wondrous thir.gs : thou
art God alone. See also Neb. ix. 6.

s
and the Holy Ghost, (1) who possesses all perfection,
natural and moral, who created the world, (2) and
who governs it according to his own will. (3)
II. That since the Apostacy of Adam, men are
naturally in a state of rebellion against Goel (4) in
(1) Matt. xxviii. 19. Go ye therefore and teach all nations, bapti,
zing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost. 2d. Cor. xiii. 14: The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the
love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all.
Amen. 1 John v. 7: For there are three that bear record in heaven;
the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one ,
1st Pet. i. 2 : Elect according to the foreknow ledge of God the Father;
through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of
the blood of Jesus Christ.
Gen. iii. 22. And the Lord God said, Be•
hold, the man is became as one ofus, to know good and evil.
(2) Isa. xi. 28. Hast thou not known, hast thou not heard, that
the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth,
fainteth not, neither is weary?
Rev. iv. 11: Thou art worthy, 0
Lord, to receive glory, and honor, and power : for thou hast created
all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
Sec also
Isa. xxxvii. 16.
(3) Ps. cxv. 3. But our God is in the heavens: he hath done what.
soever he pleased. Dan. iv. 34, 35. And I (Nebuchadnezzar) blessed
the Mbst High, and I praised and honored him that liveth forever,
whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from
generation to generation : and all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: And he doeth according to his will in the army of
heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his
hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?
See also 2d Chron. xx. 6.
(4) Ps. xiv. 2, 3. The Lord looked down from heaven upon the
children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek
after God. They are all gone aside, they are altogether become filthy ;
there is none that doeth good, no, not one,
Rom. viii. 7, 8. Because

law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh

trespasses and sins, (1) and deserving everlasting
punishment. (2)
HI. That in the riches of his grace, God has opened a door through the mediation of his Son Jesus
Christ, for the recovery of man from ruin ; (3) and that
the Lord Jesus, who is both God and Man, (4) is the
only Redeemer of God's Elect.(5)
(1) Eph. ii. 1- 3. And you hath he quickened, who were dead in
trespasses and sins ; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the
course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air,
the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience : Among
whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our
flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind ; and were by
nature children of wrath, even as others.
(2) Lam. iii. 22. It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not con.
suroed, because his compassions fail not. Rom. ii. 6 - 9. Who will
render to every man according to his deeds : To them who by patient
continuance in well.doing, seek for glory, and honour, and immortality ; eternal life : But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey
the truth, but obey unrighteousness; indignation and wrath, tribula.
tion and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil. Rev. xx.
13. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it: and death and
hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged
every man according to their works.
(3) John iii. 16. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only
begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in qim, should not perish, but
have everlasting life. 1st Tim. i. 15. This is a faithful saying, and
worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to
save sinners. Heb. vii. 25. Wherefore he is able also to save them to
the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to
make intercession for them, See also Heb. ix. 15.
(4) Heb. i. 8. But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, 0 God, is
forever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. John i. 1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was
with God, and the Word was God. Isa. ix. 6. For unto us a child is
born, unto us a son is given, and the government shall be upon his
shoulder; and bis name shall be called Wonderful, Co~nsellor, The
mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Matt.
i, 23. Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son,

10

IV. That unrenewed men will never humble thei~
souls before God and embrace the offered Saviour,
without the special influences of the Holy Spirit upon
i
their hearts. (1)
and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is,
RQm. ix. 5. Whose arc the fathers, and of whom, as
God with us.
concerning the flesh, Christ came, who is over all, Gocf bles&ed for
ever. Amen.
Phil. ii. 6. Who, being in the form of God, thought it
not robbery to be equal with God.
Col. i. 15. Who is the image of
the invisible God, the first born of every creature.
Col. ii. 9. For in
him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily . 1 Tim. iii. 16. And
without controversy, great is the mystery of godliness: God was mani.
fest in the flesh. See also Tit. ii. 10. Heb. vii. 24.
( 5) Acts iv. 12. Neither is there salvation in any other : for there is
none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be
saved.
(1) John v. 40. And ye will not com!} to me, that ye might have
life. Rom. viii. 7, 8. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God:
for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then
they that are in the flesh cannot please God. E.i:ek. xxxvii. 9. Thus saith
the Lord God, Come from the four winds, 0 breath, and breathe upon
these slain, that they may live. John vi. 63. It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing . Jer. xxxi. 3. I have loved thee
with an everlasting love; therefore with loving kindness have I drawn
thee. John i. 13. Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the
flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Tit. iii. 5, 6. Not by works
of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he
saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy
Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly, through Jesus Christ our

Saviour.
the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with
the Spirit of the living God. John iii. 6. That which is born of the
flesh is flesh: and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Rom.
viii. 5. For they that are after the flesh, do mind the things of the flesh :
but they that are after the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
John vi.
44. No man can come to me, except the Father, which hath sent me,
draw him.
1st Cor. ii. 14. But the natural man receiveth not the
things of the Spirit of God : for they arc foolishness unto him : neither
can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Ephes. ii.
4, 5, But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he

with Christ. Rom vii. 18. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,)
dwelleth no good thing.

1 Cor. vi. 19, 20. What! know ye not
that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which

unto you, That the Lord J esus, the same night in which he was betray.
ed, took bread : And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said,
Take, eat; this is my body, whicl;i is broken for you : this do in rem embra nce of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when

I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou
art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an ever laiiting possession;
and I will be their God. And God said m~to Abraham, Thou shalt
keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed aft er th ee, in their gen.
erations. This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me, and

shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you . Rom. xv.
8. Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for
the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers :

years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none
effect. Gal. iii. 7 - 9 and 29. Know ye therefore, that they which are
of faith, the same ar e the children of Abraham.
And the scripture,
foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached

cording to the promis e. Mark x. 13, 14. And they brought young chil.
dren to him, that he should touch them : and his disciples rebuked
those thaj; brought them. But when Jesus saw it, he was much dis.
pleased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me,

unleav (lned bread of sincerity and truth.
1st Cor. xi . 28 . But let a

(3) John xiv. 15, 21, 23. If ye love me, keep my commandments.
He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that lov.

love him, and will manifest myself to him. Jesus answered and said
unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words ; and my Father
will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with
him. John xv . 10, 14. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in

you, (and each of you) do now in a solemn and humble sense of your duty to obey God in the gospel of
his Son, confess, before God and men, your sins, and
dedicate yourself (selves) to him. You confess that
you have greatly sinned in thought, in word, and in
deed, against God, against his holy Law, and against
his grace ; that you are verily guilty before God, and
that he would have been just had he cast you off forever. Though your sins have been a grievous burden upon your heart, yet you humbly hope that they
are removed by the application of the blood bf Immanuel. You now desire heartily to repent, and trust
you do repent of all your sins. You account it a
wonder of grace that a Saviour has been provided. for
so great a sinner as yourself; and you now receive
the Lord Jesus as your only Saviour on the terms of
the gospel. You forsake the world, that you may follow Christ.
Encouraged • and strengthened by the
grace of-God, you now declare your acceptance of
his covenant of grace, giving yourself (selves) up in
all your powers of body and soul, to God the Father,
the Son, and the Holy Ghost, to love, to serve, and to
enjoy him ; and trusting in his grace for strength, you
covenant and promise to forsal-.e sin, and to walk in
2*

18

his ordinances blameless. You confess your sins,
give yourself (selves) up to God, and promise henceforth to serve him.
(Here tke ordinance of Baptism will be adrnir~istered.)
II.
