We bl.'iie,-e in till' h..:~-riur~ rJZ God made man up:-ighl, and placed him !.:ltc of ~lol)' without :he ienl.'t mbaure o! misery, ; :-om which he Yol­•lY by transgri!~SiQn, .::~:11 , :md I.Jy 1hat means br,·.ught on himsE'1! a :abl~antl mortal >t::\.~' ~ubject to cc:~th.-Gcn. 2:!7; 3:1!.1.

We belie\·e that no man s b n:.J :~uffer in bell for want of a Chr ist who or him, but as the Scr·ipture has s::itl, for denying the Lord that bought ; because tber. belie,·ed not in tl1e name of the only begotten Son ot!

l J I.

JO. We bl!l ieve thnt men, noL considflreu simply ns m~n. but ungodly men, were of old ordained to condemnation, considered such who turn the

>-"Tate of God into lasdviou~s. den)ing the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Chr ist who l;Jought. thein, and ther<.>£ore. shall bring upon themselves swiit dcstroction; but we observe that they, :~ nd such the :'1 postle saith be­cause they r ccci,·e not the lo,·e of :.he truth, thc.t they Tnig1lt be saved tbere­

fol'c the indil!n'ftion and wrath of God is upon e\·ery soul of man t hat doeth evil, lhing and dyi:lg therein; for there is no respect of per sons with God.­Jude 1:4. 11. Pet:!r 2:1; 11. Thess. 2:11, 12; Rom. 2:9-11.

11 . \\-e believe that all c::hiidren dyir.g in inf:mcy, h:u-ing not <lC:l>lnlly

n-an~gre~scd :!guinst the law of Go!!, :n t heir own persor.:;. are only subject tc ihl' fi1·st. dl•ath, which was brought on them by t he fall of the first Ad:J.m, and not t hat any of them dying in that state, shall suff<.>r punishment in bt:! l by t he guilt of Adam's sin, for "of such is the b.i ngc:lom of God."- 1. C'or. l!i:22; Matt. JS:2·o; Mark 9:36, 37; Ma't. 19:14.

12. We belie,·e thnt ;;-ooci works are t he fruits of a !'Jving faith, and tbat in the use of t he me::tns IJf grace, and not out of the use of those means, eternal Hi e is J)r omised to men.-Rev. 22:14, 15; Jsa . 1:19, 20; Matt. 7:8. Je1·. 0:16; Luke 13:34, 35.

13. We belie,·e that. no man has any warrant in th<: Holy Scriptures for justification before God through his own works, power or ability, which l1e has in and of himself, only as he by grace is made able to come to God through Jesus Christ; believing the righteousness of Jesus Christ. to be imputed to nll believers for their eternal acceptance witb God.-Rom. 4:24; Acts 8:20, 21.

l.J. We b:!lie\·e tbo.t :1ll tl1ings are foreseen in the wisdom of God, so that God knoweth whatsoever can or cannot come to pass upon all supposed conditions; yet not as having decreed any person to everlasting life, out of z.peet or mere choice fatthu than Be hath appointed the godly unto life, and the ungodly, wbo die in sin, unto death.- Heb. 4:18; Prov. 8:22-81. Matt. 25:81-46.

"" 16. We believe, as touching Gospel ordi.n.ancea, in believers' baptism, laying 011 of hands, ree,eiving of the·aaerament in bread and wine, washing the aamta.' !~t, ano~ ;e sick with on in the name of the Lord,. ¥n&'· prayer, emgmg Pralle to .:;oo, and the publie miDlet:ry of the Word; with every inatitution of th~d we shall ilnd in the New THtament.-Jiark 18:16-18; Acts 8:17; :6; Luke 22:19, 20: .John 18:6-17; .Ju. 6:14.

16. We believe the mode of'baptiml Ia by immersion, aDd that believers are the oDly Btl jec:ts for ' baptiam.-Matt. 8:16; Hart 1:9, 10; Acts 2:88, .89; Rom. 6:4; Col. 2:1.2.

17. We believe iD a general reaarrection of the dead and a hal~­mtmt a t the 1ut day.......lob.D 5:28, 29; n. Cor. 6:10.

18. We believe the happbleaa o! the righteous i• eternal and ~he torment. o! the wicked are mdleu.--:Matt. 95:46.
