The Convention endorsed the plan of the Commission discour aging independent appeals to churches and individuals on the part of special denominational interests, urging all of them to look to the Co-operative Program for their support and asking all the churches to support the Pro gram. STAND BY THE OLD BIBLE That the world may know where ; Southern Baptists stand upon the j great fundamental Christian doc trines. many of which are being as sailed today, the convention adopted a statement of the Baptist faith and message, in which attacks upon the Inspiration and authority of the Bible and the divinity of Christ were vig orously refuted. Here are some of the leading declarations in the statement as it was adopted: THE SCRIPTURES “We believe that the Holy Bible was written by men divinely in spired and is a perfect treasure of heavenly instruction; that it has God 'or Its author, salvation for Its end, and truth, without any mixture of error, for Its matter; that It reveals the principles by which God will Judge us, and therefore is, and will remain to the end of the world, the Lfue center of Christian union, and I the supreme standard by which all I human conduct, creeds and religious i opinions should be tried.” THE FALL OF MAN 1 "Man was created by the special act of God as recorded in Genesis I 'So God created man in his own im >l age, in the image of God created he .him; male and female created he I them ’ (Gen 1:27). And the Lord God , formed man out of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul,’ (Gen. 2:7). He was cre i* uted in a state of holiness under the law of hie maker but through the temptation of Satan he transgressed the command of God and fell from his original holiness and righteous ness; whereby his posterity Inherit a nature corrupt and in bondage to sin, are under condemnation, and as soon as they are capable of moral action, become actual transgressors.” THE WAY OF SALVATION “Salvation of sinners is wholly of Igraoe, through the mediatorial office of the Boa of God, who by the Holy .’Spirit was born of tha Virgin Mary aad took upon him our nature, yet without sin; honored the divine law by Ms paredaal obedience, and made atonement for our sins by his death. Being risen from the dead he Is now enthroned in heaven and uniting in his person the tenderest sympathies with divine perfections, he is in every way qualified to be a compassionate and all-sufficient Savior.” CO-OPERATION “Christ’s people should, as occasion requires, organise such associations and conventions as may best secure co-operation for the great objects of the Kingdom of God. Such organiza tions have no authority over each other or over the churches. They are voluntary and advisory bodies design ed to elicit, combine and direct the enegries of our people In the most ef fective manner. Individual members of New Testament churches should co-operate with each other, and the churches themselves should co-oper ate with each other In carrying for ward the missionary, educational and benevolent program for the extension of Christ's Kingdom. Christian unity in the New Testament sense is spirit ual harmony and voluntary co-opera tion for common ends by various groups of Christ's people. It is per missible and desirable as between the various Christian denominations, when the end to be attained Is Itself Justi fied, and when such co-operation in volves no violation of conscience or compromise of loyalty to Christ and His Word as revealed in the New Testament." STEWARDSHIP “God is the source of all blessings, temporal and spiritual; all that we have and are we owe to Him. We have a spiritual debtorshlp to the whole world, a holy trusteeship In the Gospel, and a binding stewardship in our possessions. We are therefore under obligation to serve Him with our time, talents and material posses sions; and should recognize all these as preaching the Gospel of Christ, and of God and helping others. Chris tians should cheerfully, regularly, sys tematically, proportionately and lib erally contribute of their means to advancing the Redeemer's cause on earth.” EVOLUTION IS DENOUNCED To the statement of faith proper the Convention added a declaration upon the relation of science and re- J gfon in which the theory of evolution was denounced Referring to evolu tion the statement, says: “Its best exponents admit that the causes of the origin of species have not been traced, nor has any proof been forthcoming that man is not the direct creation of God as recorded in Genesis. We protest against imposition of this theory of evolution upon the minds of our children in denominational or public schools as if it were a. definite and established truth of science. We in sist that this and all other theories be dealt with In a truly scientific way, that Is, in careful conformity to established facts. “We record again our unwavering adherence to the supernatural ele ments in the Christian religion. The Bible is God’s revelation of himself through men moved by the Holy Spirit, and is our sufficient, certain and authoritative guide in religion. Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin Mary, through the power of the Holy Spirit. He was the divine and eternal Son of God. He wrought miracles, healing the sick, casting out demons, raising the dead. He died as the vicarious, atoning Savior of the world and was buried. He arose again from the dead. The tomb was emp tied of its contents. In his risen body he appeared many times to his disciples He ascended to the right hand of the Father. He will come again in person, the same Jesus who ascended from the Mount of Olives. “We believe that adherence to the above truths and facts is a necessary condition of service for teachers 14 our Baptist schools.” McClure’s n INC.
