Synopsis

Excerpt from The Commission Executed: Or a Study of the New Testament, Conversions and Other Evangelistic Topics

In preparing this volume, I know that I am in debted very deeply to what I have read and what I have heard, yet how to give the credit due I know not further than to say I claim no merit for orig inality. If the thoughts are familiar for the most part to many Of the readers Of this little volume, it is because they have enjoyed privileges similar to my own. If even the phraseology in many cases is strikingly familiar, do not blame me, for how can I help it, since I have become thoroughly saturated with the teaching, both verbal and written? Cer tainly, if I say many things in much the same way that others have said 'them, it will not be wondered at under the circumstances.

I have prepared this volume largely for class room work, because I believe that every young man preparing 'for the ministry should be thoroughly enlightened on what we commonly call First Prin ciples Of the Gospel. I hold that every one should, be so intimately acquainted with the conver sions of the New Testament that if he should be suddenly called on to preach on any one Of them, he could do so without previous notice.

About this title

Product Description

Excerpt from The Commission Executed: Or a Study of the New Testament, Conversions and Other Evangelistic Topics The teachings, commonly known as "first principles," among the disciples of Christ have been familiar to me as far back as I can remember. I am a disciple almost by birthright, if I may use such an expression without being misunderstood. When I was a little boy, probably not more than five years old, my father and mother made the "good confession" in their own house, for the old log house was open to the preaching of the early pioneers from their first visits to southern Ohio, early in the fifties. A deep impression was made on me when my father and mother were buried with their Lord in Christian baptism. The plain, simple conditions of admission into the Church of Christ were deeply impressed upon my mind by the forceful, shall I not say powerful, sermons of a class of preachers, than whom no stronger men in natural gift: have arisen among us even unto the present day. Before I was ten years old, I had listened frequently to such men as J. J. M. Dickey, Father Jarvis, John Frame, Joseph Dunn, Benjamin Franklin, and a number of others of like or less fame.
