PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.


extended south from the turnpike, to the Yellow Breeches Creek, east, to the Cumberland Furnace, on the Yellow Breeches, and west to Jacksonville.


QUESTIONS AND MEMBERS.


1. What description would you give of Heaven ?


2. Upon what is the believers' title to Heaven founded ?


3. Has God promised Heaven to believers abso -- lutely, or does he require conditions on their part ?


4. Can believers under the new covenant dispensa- tion, who have once a right to Heaven, by their mis- conduct, lose it and forfeit their right ?


5. Is the doctrine of the saints perseverance founded on scripture ? If so, how will you prove it, and defend the doctrine against those who deny it ?


6. How will you make it appear from scripture and experience, that there is no such thing as sinless perfec- tion in this life ?


7. Seeing Heaven is an holy place, and nothing unelean can enter into it at any time, then are believers made completely holy and fitted for Heaven ?


These, with the sixth chapter of the Confession of Faith to be examined upon.
