Excerpt from The Second Adam and the New Birth: Or the Doctrine of Baptism as Contained in Holy Scripture
As the limits which the writer has prescribed to himself preclude his noticing a number of minor objections to the doctrine contained in the following pages, he desires to refer to a former publication on the same subject, entitled "The Sacrament of Responsibility; or, the Testimony of Scripture to the Teaching of the Church on Holy Baptism;" where the reader will find a multitude of misconceptions met and answered.
A Second Edition of this present work having been called for, the writer has endeavoured to make it a hand-book of Scripture reference on the subject of Baptismal Doctrine.
To this end, he has reviewed at much greater length than in the former edition, the teaching of the Apostolical Epistles, especially those of St. Paul to the Galatians, Ephesians, and Hebrews, and has shown how, both by express statement and general coincidence of thought and expression, they uphold the doctrine of the Church.
He has inserted much additional matter on the Parables of our Lord, and on the harmony of the Church's doctrine of Regeneration with the most unreserved preaching of Conversion or renewal; he has also devoted a chapter to the Scripture statements respecting Election and Final Perseverance, and their bearing on the question of Baptismal grace.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves deeply into the theological concept of Baptism, exploring its significance within the Christian faith. Drawing upon extensive scriptural references, the author meticulously examines the position of Baptism as established by Christ and his Apostles. Through a comparative analysis of the two Adams ΓΆβ β the first representing the source of original sin and the second, Jesus Christ, embodying the potential for redemption ΓΆβ β the author illuminates the transformative power of Baptism. This book argues that Baptism serves as a conduit for the impartation of Christ's divine nature, offering a pathway to spiritual rebirth and liberation from the inherited burden of sin. The author further investigates the connection between Baptism and other crucial theological ideas such as regeneration, conversion, and the nature of the visible Church. By delving into these interconnected concepts, the book sheds light on the profound implications of Baptism for individual believers and the broader Christian community. Ultimately, this book underscores the enduring relevance of Baptism in the present day, inviting readers to contemplate its transformative potential and its role in shaping the Christian experience.
