7 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. BRIEF STATEMENT OF BELIEFS OF ' SOUTHERN CHURCH IS SUBMITTED Revised Epitome of Doctrine Is Drawn Up and Presented by Committee. Here in the "Rrief Statement of Belief," submitted ty the Presbyterian Church (South) to-day by Dr. J. M. Wells, for the committee named for the purpose: Explanatory Note, iniuoh as there is some differ- > ■ t opinion concerning the status us- of any report which it may ,|;1 ’ i this committee desires to ;,, at it does not understand i Assembly instructed it to n R statement of doctrine r shall be a substitute for. or ,it < n or an amendment to, anv documents contained in the t ■ Dion of the church, or of any | n *» thetcof. !< pectfully suggests that, in * vent the Assembly approves report, the statement submit - shall he referred to the execu- li ' r committee of publication, to be p: uited 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, hat ing all sin. He is merciful and gra cious. long suffering, and abundant in 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 fn 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 w 'ill 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. Ml. 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 gopd. 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 fiower 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. O r first parents, being tempted by S tan, disobeyed God r s command, n* 1 so by their own choice fell from 1 < ir original state of innocence and S »■< -nn union with God, and came under the powder of sin. the penalty < f which is eternal death. All men. by reason of their relationship to Adam as their representative head end common ancestor, are born with a sinful nature from which all actual transgressions proceed; and' •out of this condition no one is able . to deliver himself. VI. Salvation. God. who is rich in mercy, so Iove,d the world that he gave his only .begotten vSon to be the Saviour of sinners. The salvation thus provid ed is freely offered to all men. and is sufficient for all, but 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 He gave to His Son. that they should be holy and jyithout 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 w r ith a multitude that no man can number, and has never sent one soul to hen. 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 born of the Virgin Mary, vet without sin; so that He is both Hod 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 ami ascended into heaven, where he makes continual interces- • sion for us; and lie sits at the -right hand of God. clothed with honor and * power, subduing His people unto Himself, ruling and defending them, and restraining and conquering a His and their enemies. He wil come again to receive and reward His people and to judge the world. IX. The Holy Spirit. The Hoh Spirit, the third person rf the Godhead, applies the redemp tion purchased by Christ. He per suades and enables men to ohe> the cali of the gospel, and dwells continually in every believer as the spirit of truth, of holiness, of power and or comfort, and is thereby the author of all Christian experience X. Justification by Faith. Everyone who humbly relies upon Christ alone for salvation and In re pentance confesses and forsakes his sins, is pardoned and accepted a* 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 famdy, and be comes an heir of God and a joint heir with Jesus Christ. XI. The Christian Life. The Hoiv Spirit imparts spiritual life bv the direct operation of his power; so that, being born from above we are tlie children of God. created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which are not the ground I, it the fruits of salvation. Dwell ing in Christ’s people, he purifies them more and more front sin. en ables them to render a cheerful and loving obedience to God s r°mmand- ments, and perseveres in his ““ftl fving work Ir. their hearts until at Iasi they stand perfect in the Pres ence of Christ in glory. Belteveis may at times backslide. different and cold. and _ e X e into grievous sins: yet God does I 1 ” cast them off. hut chastens them, and restores them 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 he “ d ’ 11 T5? 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 tather has Riven him. and to establish the redeem ers kingdom. The n.tssmn of me church is spiritual, andits work Is to witness to the truth of God to the ends of the earth, and to preach the gospel to all men in evert gen eration tVe heliete in the separa tion of church and Slate I he scrip tural form of church government is by elders or i,re-d.yiers. chosen b> the Yite-nh.--- 1 the church: bu' we do not rega. - tile form of govern- ment of h church an essential to ft* existence. U'e recognize the validity or 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 to the system of doctrine contained in our standards, but the sole condit-ion 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 tlie 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 be 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 Hfm 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; hut 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, ami 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 be 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 Ivord shall see of the travail of His soul and shall he satisfied.
