Much has been said about the importance of conduct rather than belief by those who contend that it matters not what the individual thinks so long as he lives a good life; but the fact te mains that it is impossible to separate faith and con duct. A man's creed, written or unwritten, is his working theory of life. Minds are confused and energy dissipated because the average Christian has no clear conception of what the Bible really teaches about the plan of salvation. I cannot accept the' statement that people are no longer interested in doctrines, and that they will listen to nothing that is not practical for experience shows that men and women are intensely interested in sermons and addresses that explain the great themes of the Scriptures in terms that can be understood by the average layman. In my ministry to a congregation of ordinary men and women I find that doctrinal sermons are appreciated by Christian and non-christian. Many express gratitude for help received from material similar to that given in this book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Confession of Faith for the Average Christian The average member of the church can neither become interested in their philosophical discussions, nor will he take time to examine the numerous Scripture references. These chapters have been written in response to a plea from ministers who are seeking material that may help them in the preparation of a series of talks on these essential doctrines of the church, and in response to a plea for an extended confession of faith that will both interest and instruct the average Christian. The purpose of the author will be fulfilled, if they form a working creed that will guard earnest men and women against false doctrines, and thus make the readers more efficient servants of Christ and His Church.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Commentary on the Confession of Faith: With Questions for Theological Students and Bible Classes Dr. Mitchell proves that the Confession was conformed in the order of its chapters and the type Of its doctrine more to the Articles of the Irish Church than to any other model. These were drawn up by Archbishop Ussher in 1615, when he was pro fessor of divinity in Trinity College, Dublin. The correspond ence of the Larger Catechism is also very striking with the Body of Christian Doctrine, a compilation attributed to Ussher when a youth, and circulated in the Westminster Assembly.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Confession of Faith: Hand Books for Bible Classes and Private Students In the previous section we noticed how latitudinarians in doctrine, disliking the exactness Of confessional utterances, make an illegiti mate appeal from the Confession to Scripture, thinking to find ap parent support for their views in a partial presentation of scriptural expressions. To maintain the view, however, just indicated in re gard to the interpretation of a subscribed creed is, when rightly understood, not only not latitudinarian, but genuinely conservative. It is the conservation of the essential principles embalmed in the Confession. This implies the genuine spiritual appreciation of those principles, the hearty adoption of those doctrines as our own deepest spiritual convictions. Dr. Cunningham has clearly expressed this position of true liberalism, which distinguishes the fundamental from the occasional, that which belongs to the explanation or presentation of a doctrine from the doctrine itself. Towards the close of his essay on Calvin and Beza In which he had been showing at length the theological developments of the latter divine, Dr. Cunningham maintains that, while he considers those additional determinations of Beza to be strictly in accordance with Scripture truth, and fair logical deductions from the principles laid down by Calvin, it would nevertheless be inexpedient that those precise and definite expressions should find a place in symbolical books, or be made a term of com munion. The individual Christian is required to make diligent search in order to acquire all truth attainable in regard to details as well as to general principles; but the Church must only formulate those statements of truth to which the many individuals belonging to her community may yield assent, and in regard to which unity of belief may be expected and claimed. One who goes with Calvin might refuse to go with Beza. No formulary should occasion divisions of such a kind. 'calvin probably would have made a difficulty about adopting precise and definite deliverances on some points, concerning the truth of which the great Calvinistic divines of the seventeenth century had no hesitation. But it will probably be admitted that he was qualified for the office of a minister in a Calvinistic church, even in this advanced nineteenth century.'

Download or read book The Westminster Confession of Faith written by The Westminster Divines and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Westminster Confession of Faith is the greatest of all the creeds of the Christian Church. Since its first publication in 1646 it has remained absolutely unsurpassed as an accurate and concise statement of Christian doctrine. Among all the shifting sands of theological opinion here is solid truth, for it has its foundation in the unchanging truth of Scripture--witness the copious references from the Bible which are printed on each page. Because of its faithfulness to Scripture the Confession has permanent worth and abiding relevance. The Church of Christ cannot be creedless and live. Especially in an age of doubt and confusion, it is her duty to define the Christian faith and to proclaim it to the world. Nowhere has the Reformed Church done this so effectively as in The Westminster Confession of Faith. While always recognising the supreme place of the Word of God in all matters of faith and practice, one can always turn to the Confession as one's subordinate standard. Here readers will find spiritual treasure; here too they will find comfort and strength. Also contained in this volume are the magnificent Larger and Shorter Catechisms, The Sum of Saving Knowledge, The National Covenant, The Solemn League and Covenant, The Directory for the Public Worship of God, The Form of Presbyterial Church Government, and The Directory for Family Worship.
Download or read book The Value of Confession Classic Reprint written by Selden Peabody Delany and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-25 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Value of Confession The natural instinct of normal-minded people is to share with their friends and with mankind in general any good thing they have discovered. If we have been stimulated or inspired by a book or a play, for example, we hasten to tell our friends about it. It would be inhuman to keep it to ourselves. There is no reason why this principle should not apply to religious practices which we have found helpful and satisfying. Would you not feel grateful to any man who had made a thorough trial of some religious practice unknown or untried by you, and found it helpful, if he should tell you about it? Most people would. Therefore it is here proposed to take up sacra mental confession from this standpoint. There are many Christians who have found it a practice well worth while. They are convinced that one's religious experience must be meagre and incomplete without it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
