1417475 Confession of Faith and Covenant
OF THE
Congregational Church
IN
PITTSFIELD.
Confession of Faith.
WE believe that there is one God, self-exist- ent, eternal, infinitely perfect and glorious, un- changeable in his being and perfections ; the Creator and owner of all things, and the Sove- reign of the Universe.
8561"
That this one God subsists, in a manner at present mysterious to us, as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, three in one and one in three.
That God has revealed his will to mankind in the Bible, which was given by his inspira- tion, and which is the only sufficient and uner- ring rule of faith and practice.
That God created our first Parents in his own image, perfectly holy and happy ; but that in consequence of their sin, all their posterity are born with corrupt or depraved hearts, so that they become sinful and exposed to the wrath of God forever.
4.00
That God of his own sovereign grace, has devised a scheme for our redemption, by which
4
the exercise of mercy is made consistent withs the maintenance of justice, and with the honor' of his government.
That the Son of God, the eternal word was made flesh, or became man, and by his death upon the cross, is the propitiation for the sins of the world, and that he arose from the dead and is seated at the right hand of God the Fa- ther, being invested with all power in heaven and on earth.
That every one who believes in the name of Jesus Christ, or who receives him as he is offer- ed in the Gospel, is pardoned and restored to the favor of God, however numerous and great may have been his sins.
That all who truly believe in Jesus Christ, are entitled to everlasting life, and will assur- edly according to the divine promise be kept, through faith and holiness, unto salvation.
That man is so depraved, that he will not repent and believe in Jesus Christ, unless by the spirit of God a new heart is given him, a heart to love the Lord his God supremely.
That no sinner, by any thing which he does, lays God under any obligation to grant him his regenerating grace ; but that God bestows this gift in a free and sovereign manner, having mer- cy on whom he will have mercy.
That believers tho' delivered from the curse are bound to yield a perfect obedience to the divine law, and are therefore sinful in all the defects of their holy exercises.
That Jesus Christ has a church in the world, and that among his institutions, he has appoint- ed Baptism and the Lord's supper, to be re-
5
eived by all who cordially believe in him and nake profession of their faith, and that the in- ant children of such, are proper subjects of bap- ism.
That there is appointed a day of judgment, t which period, Jesus Christ will raise the dead nd judge the world, and will doom the wicked ) everlasting destruction, and receive the re- eemed to the happiness and glory of his eter- al kingdom.
- The Covenant.
As we consider ourselves to be under great od indispensable obligations to confess Jesus hrist before men, and to unite with his visible Durch on earth ; We do now enter into cove- ant with this Church; we do renounce all the ays of sin and publicly and solemnly devote Irselves to the Lord our God, taking his word be our rule of faith and practice, receiving e Lord Jesus Christ as our teacher and Sa- our, and relying for sanctification upon the fluences of the holy spirit. We promise to tend constantly upon the institutions of the ospel, to maintain family and secret prayer, present our children for baptism and to bring em up in the nurture and admonition of the ord; to commemorate as we have opportunity e death of our Saviour in the supper ; to as- mble for the worship of God on the Lord's y ; to keep the sabbath holy, and to maintain d submit to the discipline of Christ's house, cording to the rules of his word.
6
And we finally promise, diligently to pro- mote the interests of the religion of Christ ou Lord, and particularly to recommend it to oth ers by presenting in our own lives, an example of justice, temperance, beneficence, and Godli- ness.
Relying on the aids of the Divine Spirit, we do now make these solemn engagements in the presence of God, of angels and of this congre gation.
Declaration of Admission.
We then, the Church of Christ, do receive you into full communion, promising to conduc towards you as becometh saints and to watch over you with christian affection, praying God that both you and we, may be at last present ed faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy. AMEN.
