Book Description

Excerpt from The Scriptural and Historical Arguments for Infant Baptism: Examined If this be so - if the divisions of Christians are, to a lamentable degree, frustrating the Gospel - how keenly ought all parties to question them selves. For the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart. Is it not true that the religion of multitudes is not attachment to Christ, nor to truth, but to family and Church? Can such a religion save them? However pleasing to parents, attering to pastors and teachers, and agreeable to themselves, is it not essentially un sound - the growth of a subtle but ruinous delu sion - like that which said of Old, we have Abra ham for our father? Shall evangelical Christians then foster it? Shall they plant and nourish in the souls of their children the very root on which it anciently grew, is now growing, and must ever grow? Shall the very tenderness of parental love betray its objects into deep delusion, by con founding the Abrahamic Covenant of Circumci sion with the Abrahamic Covenant of Christ? Rev. Richard Fuller, D. D., of Baltimore, in his recent book on Baptism and the Terms of Communion, 1850. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
