Here is the “Brief Statement of Belief, submitted to the Presbyterian Church iSouth) to-day by Dr. J. M. ^ ils, for the committee named for P •• purpose: Explanatory Note. ir> ismueh as there is some differ- 1 i "pinion concerning the status <’ '• "f any report which it may this committee desires to at it does not understand • i the \ssembly instructed it to * c a statement of doctrine :ali be a .substitute for, or ’ c i..n or an amendment to, any documents contained in the «-n of the church, or of any • ’ hereof. i expect fully suggests that, in •vent the Assembly approves report, the statement submit- • i J-hall be referred to the execu/- iivo committee of ptiblication, to oe l*”'- 1 ted and circulated as may be deemed best. The Statement. I. God. God is a spirit, infinite, eternal, and unchangeable; all-powerful, holy, wise, good. true, and just, liat- ng all sin. Me is merciful and gra cious. long suffering, and abundant ’n goodness and truth, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance; this truth is summed up in the Bible statement. “God Is love." He ex ists in three persons. Father. Son, and Holy Spirit, who are one God, the same in substance, equal in pow er and glory II. The Bible. The Word of God. written by men inspired by the Holy Spirit, is con tained in the Scriptures of the < Id and New Testaments, and are the will of God. It is the revelation of God’s will for man and of man’s duty to God, and is the only in fallible and authoritative rule of faith and life. III. God's Purpose. The eternal purpose of God in cludes all events; it is holy and wise, and does not deprive man of free dom. nor make God the author of sin. IV. Creation. For the manifestation of his own glory, God created the world and all ihings therein, whether visible or In visible. and all very good. He made man after his own image; male and female created he them, with im mortal souls, endowed with knowl edge. righteousness and holiness, having the law of God in their hearts, and power to fulfill it: and yet under a possibility of transgres sion, being left to the freedom of their own will. V. Sin and the Fall. Sin is the violation of God’s law. either by omission or commission. ‘> ir first parents, being tempted by Satan disobeyed God's command, p~d so by their own choice fell from the’r original state of innocence and communion with God, and came . under the power of sin. the penalty «>f which is eternal death. All men. by reason »;f their relationship to Adam as their representative head and common ancestor, are born with a sinful nature from which all actual transgressions proceed; and "ut of this condition no one is able to deliver himself. Vi Salvation. God. who is rich in mercy, so lowed the world that he gave his only begotten Son to be the Saviour of sinners. The salvation thus provid ed is freely offered to all men, and is sufficient for all, hut becomes ef ficacious only in those who believe in Jesus Christ unto eternal life. VII. Election. Before the foundation of the world. God the Father chose unto Himself in Christ a people whom lie gave to His Son. that they should he holy and without blame before Him in love. Those who come to years of discretion receive this salvation only through faith in Christ, being re generated by the Holy Spirit. Those who die in infancy, and all others who are incapable of exercising choice, are regenerated and saved by Christ through the Spirit who works when and where and how he pleases. We thus declare that God’s electing grave has peopled heaven with a / multitude that no man can number, and has never sent one soul to hell. VIII. Christ the Redeemer. The Lord Jesus Christ, being the eternal Son of God. became truly He is both God and man. and the man. being conceived by the Holy Ghost and horn of the Virgin Mary, vet without sin; so that He is both God and man. and the only perfect mediator between'God and man. by whom alone we can come unto, the Father. By a life of perfect obe dience and by His sacrificial death. He satisfied divine justice, made a ' perfect atonement for sin. and re conciles us to God. He rose from the dead and ascended into heaven, where he makes continual interces sion for us; and He sits at the right hand of God. clothed with honor and newer, subduing His people unto Himself, ruling and defending them, and restraining and conquering all His and their enemies. He will come again to receive and reward His people and tw judge the world. IX. The Holy Spirit. The Hoiv Spirit, the third person of the G < I head, applies the redemp tion purchased by Christ. He per suades and enables men to obey the cali of the gospel, and dwells continually in every believer as the spirit of truth, of holiness, of power and ot comfort, and is thereby the author of all Christian experience. X. Justification by Faith. Evervone who humbly relies upon Christ alone for salvation and In re- nentance confesses ami forsakes his sins, is pardoned and accepted as righteous in God’s sight, solely on The ground of the perfect obedience and sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Every one thus pardoned and accepted is adopted into God’s family, and be comes an heir of God anti a joint heir with Jesus Christ. XI. The Christian Life. The Holy Spirit imparts spiritual li-fe by the direct operation of his power: so that, being born from above, we are the children of God. created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which are not the ground hut the fruits of salvation. Dwell ing in Christ’s people, he purifies them more and more from sin. en ables them to render a cheerful and loving obedience to Go<’s command ments, and perseveres in his sancti fying work in their hearts until at, last thev stand perfect in the pres ence of Christ in glory. Relievers may at times backslide, growing in different and cold, and even falling into grievous sins; yet God does not cast them off. but chastens them, and restores then*, through repent ance to fellowship with him. XII. The Church. We acknowledge one universal church, the same in all ages, and of which Christ is the head. The church invisible consists of all the redeemed. The church visible is composed of all those throughout the world who profess faith in Jesus Christ, our Lord. together with their children, and it is the duty of all believers openly to profess their faith bv uniting with the church. The church exists to bring to Christ those whom the Father has given him, and to establish the Redeem er's kingdom. The mission of the church is, spiritual, audits work is to witness to the truth of God to the ends of the earth, and to preach the gospel to all men in every gen eration. We believe in the separa tion of church and State. I he scrip- l tural form of < bur. it government is by elder? tv presbyters, chosen by the mem hr- 1 ' ohuroh; but we do not rega; . iit form of govern ment of a church as essential to Its existence We recognize the validity of the ministry and sacraments of all evangelical churches, and seek the unity of the Spirit in the bonds of peace. Ministers, elders and dea cons. at their ordination, are re quired to subscribe n*. the system of doctrine contained in our standards, but the sole condition for member ship in the church Is a credible con fession of Christ as Saviour. * XIII. The Sacraments. There are two sacraments, bap tism. which symbolizes the work of the Holy Spirit, and'the Lord’s Sup per. which symbolizes the sacrificial death of Christ. Sprinkling or pour ing is the Scriptural mode of bap tism. but the mode is not essential to the validity of the sacrament Children of believers, before reach ing the age of personal accountabil ity. are to he baptized on the faith of their parents, who,in the sacra mental act enter into covenant rela tions with -God. We invite to the Lord's table all who love Him in sincerity and truth and who are in good and regular standing in evan gelical churches. XIV. Death and Resurrection. The souls of believers are at their death made perfect in holiness; and do immediately pass into glory, and their bodies, being still united to Christ, do rest in the grave till the resurrection. At the resurrection, believers being raised up in glory, shall be openly acknowledged and acquitted in the day of judgment, and made perfectly blessed in the full enjoyment of God to all eter nity; but the wicked shall go away Into everlasting punishment. XV. The Final State. There are but two states of future existence, heaven, the home of the redeemed, and hell, the abode of the finally Impenitent. There Is no pur gatory. nor Is there any probation after death. Man retains his iden tity after death, and there will he recognition In the future life. We believe in the ultimate and complete triumph of the Saviour’s kingdom, and with all his followers in all ages we toil and pray for the speedy com ing of the day when our glorious Lord shall see of the travail of His soul and shall be satisfied.
