Confession of Faith.
I. We believe that there is but one living and true God and that he exists in three persons, Father Son and Holy Ghost, the same in substance and equal in power and glory.
2. That God created and sustains all things for his own holy pleasure and honor and directs all events according to his own benevolent and eternal purposes.
3. That the Sacred scriptures of the old and New Testaments are the word of God, written under his infallible guidance and constitute the only perfect rule of faith and practice.
4. That the first man was formed upright and holy but by disobedience involved himself and his whole posterity in the entire loss of the Divine image and the Divine favor.
[194] 5. That the Atonement made by Christ who was the Son of God manifest in the flesh has opened a way for the res- toration and salvation of all men on the condition of repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
6. That genuine repentance and sincere faith and all right affections proceed from the Holy Ghost who through the revealed word and according to the Gracious pleasure of God renews the heart in righteousness and true holiness.
7. That all who thus repent and believe being justified by faith will be saved only on account of Christ the Mediator and Redeemer and will continue in holiness and enjoy the blessedness of heaven forever.
8. That Christ has instituted certain special ordinances as the gospel ministry and the two sacraments of Baptisin and the
119
Lord's supper which are to be observed by all his followers according to the Divine appointment.
[195] 9. That there is a life to come and that Christ will come again and raise the dead, and that we must all appear be- fore his judgement seat and give an account of the deeds done in the body.
IO. That at the last day those who lived and died without repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ shall go away into everlasting punishment and the righteous shall be received to life eternal.
The Covenant.
We enter into a solenin covenant with Jehovah and this church.
To God our Creator, Redeemer and Sanctifier we sacredly devote ourselves and ours without reserve and forever. And we solemnly engage as partakers of the same hope and joy to main- tain the discipline, [196] and observe the ordinances of Christ, promising to seek always the peace and purity of this church that all its members in holy love and harmony may enjoy the fellowship of the Lord Jesus, watching reproving exhorting and comforting each other for mutual edification and looking for that blessed hope; the glorious appearing of the Great God even our Saviour Jesus Christ who gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purify us unto himself a peculiar people zealous of good works.
