Excerpt from Infant Baptism
Isaac, and confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Is rael for an everlasting covenant.
Now surely no covenant but that which was confirmed of God in Christ, and consequently the covenant of grace, can be said to be everlasting. We have been the more particular in show ing from the Holy Scriptures, that the seed of Abraham, the whole house of Israel, were constituded the Church or peculiar people of God on the ground of the Gospel covenant, because it is a very prevalent Opinion that the Jewish Church was constitu ted and perpetuated through a succession of ages, on the ground of a legal and ceremonial economy, which was to be abrogated when Christ should come into the world, and the Christian Church be constituted on principles essentially different. This opinion; pregnant with untold evils, stands opposed to the united authority of. The Old and New Testaments.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the right of infants to be baptized as part of the Christian covenant, an issue that was debated within the 19th-century Methodist Church. The author contends that baptism is a sign of the covenant of grace, which was established in the Old Testament and continued in the New. The author provides a historical examination of the practice of infant baptism, drawing from both Scripture and the writings of renowned Christian leaders. The work delves into the nature of the covenant of grace, the relationship between the Old and New Testaments, and the role of baptism in the Christian life. The author's insights shed light on the significance of baptism as a symbol of God's grace and the ongoing dialogue surrounding the practice of infant baptism within the Christian tradition.
