Download or read book The Westminster Confession of Faith and the Cessation of Special Revelation written by Garnet Howard Milne and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the opening chapter of the Confession, the divines of Westminster included a clause that implied that there would no longer be any special immediate revelation from God. Means by which God had once communicated the divine will, such as dreams, visions, and the miraculous gifts of the Spirit, were said to be no longer available. However, many of the authors of the WCF accepted that prophecy continued in their time, and a number of them apparently believed that disclosure of God's will through dreams, visions, and angelic communication remained possible. How is the cessationist clause of WCF 1:1 to be read in the light of these claims? This book reconciles this paradox in a detailed study of the writings of the authors of the Westminster Confession of Faith.

Download or read book Prepared by Grace for Grace written by Joel R. Beeke and published by Reformation Heritage Books. This book was released on 2013-05-23 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few teachings of the Puritans have provoked such strong reactions and conflicting interpretations as their views on preparing for saving faith. Many twentieth-century scholars dismissed preparation as a prime example of regression from the Reformed doctrine of grace for a man-centered legalism. In Prepared by Grace, for Grace , Joel Beeke and Paul Smalley make careful analysis of the Puritan understanding of preparatory grace, demonstrate its fundamental continuity with the Reformed tradition, and identify matters where even the Puritans disagreed among themselves. Clearing away the many misconceptions and associated accusations of preparationism, this study is sure to be the standard work on how the Puritans understood the ordinary way God leads sinners to Christ.

Download or read book The 1647 Westminster Confession of Faith written by and published by . This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, the first in existence since the mid 17th century, is the 1647 version of the Westminster Confession of Faith, and its subordinate documents which comprise the Larger and Shorter Catechisms, the Form of Presbyterial Church Government, the directories for Public and Private Worship and the Sum of Saving Knowledge; also included is a topical index. The Confession itself is proved by Scripture using, for the first time since it was first penned and finalized in 1647, the 1599 Geneva Bible (the Bible of the Puritans). Whether this volume is owned electronically or in the hardback edition, it is not only needful today (amidst the changes that many denominations have made to the Confession and its standards) but also because such a volume is often in and out of print, it makes it difficult to own something so valuable. Puritan Publications is excited to have the 1647 Westminster Confession combined with the 1599 Geneva Bible for the first time in centuries.The 1647 Westminster Confession of Faith is the best confession produced by the Christian Church. Though the Christian Church takes the whole Word of God alone as her only rule of faith, she must also frame and promote a statement of what she understands the Word of God to teach. Thus, the church should rely on the BEST confession she can make. This is it!

Download or read book The Covenant of Works and the Covenant of Grace written by Edmund Calamy and published by Puritan Publications. This book was released on 2014-02-11 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work by master theologian Edmund Calamy is a work of the highest order on covenant theology. Calamy says that there are two covenants, following the received standards of the Westminster Confession. There is the Covenant of Works, where all men by nature lie under the pollution and guilt of Adam’s sin, and liable to all the curses and penalties due to them for breach of that covenant. And then, secondly, there is the Covenant of Grace which God the Father made with Jesus Christ from all eternity to save some of the posterity of Adam. Calamy carefully and methodically explains that the Covenant of Grace was prepared and readied against the fall of Adam to take place at the very moment of his fall; otherwise the justice of God would have immediately seized on all of creation under heaven, and consumed them to nothing. But Jesus Christ came with the covenant in his hand saying, “Be gracious unto him, and deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom,” (Job 33:24). Calamy proves that the Covenant of Grace was made with Jesus Christ, and this was the contract of God the Father with God the Son from all eternity as mediator for the salvation of the elect.
