Excerpt from And the Lord's Supper: Scriptural Arguments in Behalf of the Perpetual Obligation of These Ordinances
His holy word. Equally far from my heart 1s any disposition to accuse you of having departed from the faith, believing as I do that you are building on the alone foundation Christ Jesus; but while I thus extend to you the hand of fellow ship and expicss my belief that you are members of that body of which Christ 15 the head, I cannot but long to see you without abandoning one of those principles by which you are actuated, which have thei1 authority founded 011 the written word of God, yield the same simple obedience of faith to those institutions of the Saviour which he establishedias the outward and visible signs of that inward and spiritual grace which he commu nicates to the souls of those who trusting in his righteousness and atonement, are looking for sal~ vation through his obedience and blood.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book re-examines and challenges the Quaker tenet that argues for a purely spiritual dispensation of Christianity, without outward symbols or signs. The author draws upon historical and scriptural evidence to assert that water baptism is a standing ordinance in the Christian church. The author contends that while it is true that the spiritual character of the gospel of our holy Redeemer is to be intimately connected with the disuse of water baptism, the baptism of water was instituted by Christ as a sign of belief in an outward Saviour and a remembrance of the blessings that flow from Jesus' sacrifice. The book critiques the Quaker conclusion that spiritual religion is incompatible with the existence of external religious ordinances, arguing that these external rites can foster remembrance and keep alive the memory of what Jesus accomplished. This book is a valuable resource for those seeking a deeper understanding of the complexities within the historic Christian dispensation.
