Book excerpt: Excerpt from Infant Baptism and the Abrahamic Covenant That many believers in the Lord Jesus are persuaded that Infant Baptism is of God, I do not doubt. The writer himself was once of that opinion. In the ensuing argument, then, he trusts to display no spirit but that' of love towards those whom he addresses, while he suggests to them texts of Holy Writ, and considerations, destructive, (as he assuredly believes) of 'the views they entertain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Infant Baptism Another remarkable passage is found in the address of the Apos tle Peter to the multitude assembled on the day of Pentecost, re corded in the 11th chap. Acts, 38, 39. Then Peter said unto them, 'repent and be baptised every one of you, in the name 'of Jesus Christ, for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive 'the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you and. 'to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.' The Apostle does not certainly mean here that promise of extraordinary or miraculous gifts con tained in the quotation he had before made from the prophecy of Joel, and which he says was fulfilled in the miraculous descent of the Holy Ghost on the Apostles and others, by which they Were enabled to speak in languages which they had never learned. For certainly it could not be said that the promise of these extra ordinary gifts was to all the house of Israel and to their children, and to all the Gentiles whom God should call. But it manifestly refers to the promise of the covenant which God made with Abra ham, and which was confirmed to Patriarchs and Prophets, and especially to David, whom the Apostle introduces with peculiar beauty and fitness.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Infant Church Membership, or the Spiritual and Permanent Character of the Abrahamic Covenant IN sending this little volume abroad, custom re quires that the reading public should be apprised of the circumstances that caused it to be written, and Of the Objects contemplated by the author in lts publication, as well as of the character and con tents of the book. And what is merely customary in other cases, seems very appropriate and highly important in this. The author is unknown to the literary world, and must, therefore, depend not upon an established and eminent character, but upon the intrinsic merits of his work, and the importance of the subject, to. Gain for it an extensive perusal. Good wine needs no bush, said an eminent au thoress, when asked for a preface, and bagi wine is made worse by apologies. We will, therefore, con tent ourselves with a plain and brief statement of facts.

This book was released on 2018-03-18 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Dissertation on the Scriptural Authority, Nature, and Uses, of Infant Baptism The work which is now presented to the public may be considered as a substitute for that part of the former which immediately regarded the subject Of the Abrahamic covenant and baptism. It is, however, in almost all respects, a new work. The discussions are cleared from all the foreign matter, with which they were unavoidably associated by the passages on which the lectures were founded. The reasonings are, by this means, rendered more distinct and con secutive. The subject is treated more at large, in all its parts, and especially in some which before were hardly, if at all, touched upon. To the whole train Of argument an arrangement has been given, such as, it is hoped, may render it plain and easily followed, and may serve to free the subject of it from some portion at least of the confusion and difficulty, in which, to not a few minds, it has always appeared to be involved. Some of the leading Objections, more over, have been met, and, to my own satisfaction at least, exposed; - and what is said, in the third section, of the uses of infant baptism, is wholly new.

Book excerpt: In arguing for biblical infant baptism, it is not sufficient for us to say that infant baptism is merely consistent with the Scriptures, or that a biblical case can be made for it. In order for us to be satisfied that we are being biblical Christians, we must be content with nothing less than a clear biblical case requiring infant baptism. In a doctrinal matter of this importance, the standards of evidence are high.

This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dissertation on the Scriptural Authority, Nature, and Uses, of Infant Baptism So long ago as the year 1807, I published Three Lectures on Romans iv. 9 - 2 5. Designed chiefly to illustrate the nature of the Abrahamic Covenant, and its connection with Infant Baptism; with an Appen dix, on the Mode of Baptism. - It was my first publi cation and, afterthe lapse of seventeen years, I have seen very little reason to alter or to modify the gene ral principles of that work - A Review of it appeared, in the end of the same year, from the pen of the late Mr. Archibald Maclean of Edinburgh, a man held in just estimation, not by his own party only, but by all who knew him, for natural acuteness of intellect, close application to the study of the scriptures, and general consistency of character. I was satisfied that my main positions were unshaken by the objections and counter-reasonings of the reviewer and the chief consideration that prevented me from then replying was, the time it would necessarily occupy, which, I thought, might, on the whole, be more profitably employed. I am not now sure, whether this was a correct judgment. A desire has repeatedly been expressed to me for the republication of these lectures. I could not, however, think of publishing them again in the same form. The great business of an expositor, I am fully aware, ought to be, to give a clear View of the scope, or main design, of the writer whom he expounds, and to show how his reasonings establish, and his illustrations elucidate, the point of which he treats. All matter that is not immediately relevant for this end, ought to be either omitted entirely, or very spar ingly introduced - if touched, not dwelt upon. The reason why this principle was departed from in the lectures, was one which I then thought, and still think, sufficient to justify the deviation. It is obvi ous, that the same principles, which a writer lays down, as the foundation of the conclusions which it is his object to establish, may often, with equal fair ness, be made the basis of other conclusions, besides those which are at the time in his View and princi ples settled by Divine authority it is, on this account, as well as for the sake of the inferences actually de duced from them, of the highest consequence to ascer tain. We then have at least determinate premises and have only to show how they bear us out in our deductions. Now, it may happen, that at the very time when a minister, in the regular course of ex position, arrives at a particular passage, the minds of fellow-christians, in his own religious connections, or more extensively, may be occupied and agitated by.

Download or read book Covenant Holiness and Infant Baptism written by Thomas Blake and published by Puritan Publications. This book was released on 2013-01-27 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work by Blake is a second treatment on covenant theology that was widely circulated during his time outside of his magnum opus work “The Covenant of God.” This book is a combination of two treatises he wrote, one concerning the covenant holiness of infants under the ordinance of baptism, and a second treatise covering answers to questions surrounding whether there is sufficient ground in scripture to warrant the conscience of a Christian to present his infants to the sacrament of baptism. Both are excellent Scriptural treatments of the subject, with exegesis surrounding passages such as Galatians 2:15, Genesis 17, 1 Corinthians 7, and Ephesians 4:1-3. This is not a scan or facsimile, has been updated in modern English for easy reading and has an active table of contents for electronic versions.

This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Doctrine of Infant Baptism as Taught in the Scriptures and Practised in the Church Every circumstance in the life of our Saviour deserves devout attention, and is full of instruction; and this is especially true with respect to those significant acts, by which he fulfilled the Law, and sanctioned the usages of the Jewish Church. That Ch 1rch was in all important things the same as the Christian and althoutrh its outward rites were different, in doctrine and order there rs a perfect atrrecmcnt and we are taught to look upon the. Ancient congregation Of the Lord, as the parent stock, upon which has been g alted Christ 5 Holy, Catholic and Apos tolic Church. By all the feasts and ceremonies of the Law, were shadowed forth the richer promises and purer services Of the Gospel and it is worthy Of rerrrark, that the Church which was established by the Law of Moses, like that which is now built upon the Apostles and Prophets, had its sacrament of admission, and its sacrament of cornmcnior'ation - the Circumci sion and the Passover to both of which especial blessings were promised. And which continued to be signs and seals of God's covenant with man until our blessed Saviour, having fulfilled the Law, ordained nr their stead the more spiritual sacraments of Baptism and the Lord's Supper; by the means of which the Christian is born to God and strengthened and refreshed through every period of his life - mthe first, like Circumcision, admitting him into the covenant and the second, like the Passover, continually reminding him of his privileges and his responsibility, But, we are called by the text to confine our present notice to the sacred rite of Circumcision, and to its corresponding ordi nance in the Christian Church. To rightly understand the mystery of the Circumcision to which our infant Saviour submitted, it is necessary to state to you its origin and its epoch. The first mention oi it is in the seventeenth chapter of Genesis, when God revealed it to Abra ham, and recorded it for us And I will establish my covenant between me and thee, and thy seed after thee, in their generations, for an rzvrznmsrrno covenant to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after As a token and seal of the covenant, God gave him this sacred rite, and commanded that on the eighth day, every male child should be circumcised; and the neglect of this outward sign was declared to be a violation of the covenant anu a forfeiture of its blessings. And the uncircum cised man. Child, whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from the people; he hath broken my covenant. 'i' So we learn that the origin of Circumcision was the sovereign will of (ion, and its effect was to bring the chosen people into covenant with Him. As such it was observed by all who valued their electron, and exercised their faith in the promises of God - as such it was sanctioned and received, vlren the eight days were accomplished for the circnnrcising of the child, and they called ifs name jesus - as such it must still be considered by us for although the sign is changed, the sigui fication remains - although we no longer circumcise our children, our children enter into covenant with God. St. Paul, discours ing upon the subject, calls the sign of circumcision the seal of the righteousness which is by jirith and he points out, with wonderful precision, its nature as a sacrament it was an entrance into covenant wirlr God, an outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace given to them; it w as not merely a mark to distinguish them from the heathen - it was the mystical cutting ofi'of sin - the mystical adoption into the family of God. The Lord, thy God will circumcise thine heart and the heart of thy seed, to love the Lord thy God, with all thy heart and with all thy soul, that thou mayest So we see, it was not a mere ceremony, once. To be performed and then to be forever forgotten - it was to remove si...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Infant Baptism, Founded Upon Scripture and History First, then, infants require to be baptized.

But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for Of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.
