rence must be the only possible one dedueible
from the premises. As one of the
most powerful debaters in the church
showed on the floor of the Assembly, to
be "necessary" a conclusion must be
"unavoidable." It has been shown repeatedly
that not only is the universal
salvation of infants not a "necessary"
or an "unavoidable inference from the
texts quoted, but it is not a possible
conclusion at all. Those texts (such as,
"Suffer the little children &c.") were
conclusively demonstrated not to touch
the question. All texts were withdrawn
from the arena of discussion. The advocates
never rallied to the defence of
them. As the field of debate is seen today
there is not a text in view. Some
thing else was substituted for the texts
as the premises of the nrgument, namely,
"the character of God and the
words and ways and Spirit of Christ as
set forth in Scripture." I submit that
when the Confession speaks of a "good
and necessary consequence" that "may
be deduced from Scripture," it means an
Inference deduced from what is "expressly
set down in Scripture," that is, a
definite passage of Scripture (See Confession
of Faith, Chapter I, Section VI.)
I therefore, challenge the premises, and
I challenge the reasoning. The Bible being
silent then, both as to express
statement and as to necessary implication,
why should the Church presume
to break that silence?
2. The new amendment Is a departure
from the whole spirit of the Confession,
(a.) It is a new departure as to the
class of things that may properly be admitted
to the Confession. The Confession
aims to be "a perfect mirror of Scripture
truth," teaching only what the Bible
teaches and "silent" when it is "silent."
As Dr. Webb expresses it, "As
soon as a conclusion gets removed the
first degree from the biblical text, it
ought to be set down as not available
for a creed."
The Westminster Assembly in making
the Confession were compelled by the
British Parliament to admit to it only
those things for which proof texts could
be given. No effort has been made, so
far, to break the force of that fact. The
very mechanical structure of the Confession,
with its doctrines in coarse
print on the upper part of the page, and
the proof texts in fine print on the lower
part of the page, is an impressive
testimony to the fact that our creed is
uiiih vaviuoucij VII mc luuuuauiuu
of the Word of God."
(b) It is a new departure as to the attitude
of the Confession toward election.
The Confession does not anywhere intake
to define the number of the elect
or to designate the persons who are of
the election of grace, but this amendment
dares to affirm that we know concerning
a whole class of human beings
that they are elect, and that, confessedly,
without any revelation of God to
base the opinion upon.
(c) It is a new departure as to the attitude
of the Confession toward the relation
of infants to the plan of salvation.
The silence of the Bible touching
the salvation of the whole class of "infants
dying in infancy" is rendered in
the highest degree impressive by the
fact that the Bible is not silent as to
the destiny of the children of believers
who die In infancy. God has made a difference
between the children of believers
and thp child rcn nf iinhnlionnro TJo tmoItao
v>.. v/? uuf v/1 u. uiaaco
a revelation concerning the one but not
concerning the other. It is the teaching
of both the Bible and theConfestrion that
there is a distinction between children
of the covenant and children outside the
covenant; that the promise is to believers
and to their children; and that
those who profess the true faith together
with their children constitute
the visible church "out of which there
there is no ordinary possibility of salvation."
