Excerpt from The Scripture Guide to Baptism: Containing a Faithful Citation of All the New Testament Passages Which Relate to This Ordinance

Being, however, afterwards brought under a faithful ministry, I observed a most astonishing difference between the statements of the pulpit and the sentiments I had been taught in childhood, as given above. Here I was taught that all mankind were by nature sinners, depraved, and guilty, - that unless they be brought to repent of sin, to believe in Christ, to seek and find mercy from God through the Saviour, they must inevitably perish l' - As to what was done for me in infancy, I was assured it profited me nothing. My excellent minister would not hesitate to appeal to his congregation, in the inquiries which recently appeared in a public paper: Is not the sponsorial part of the baptismal service a fragment of Popery, without the shadow of a foundation in the Holy Scriptures?

Excerpt from The Scripture Guide to Baptism: Containing a Faithful Citation of All the New Testament Passages Which Relate to This Ordinance

In presenting a new edition of this pamphlet to the Christian public, the writer has no small degree of satisfaction in having the opportunity of copying into its pages additional testimonies from very eminent Christian authors, conceding the scriptural authority of the views of Baptism herein advocated.

But few writers of the present age are more highly estimated, or more generally respected, than the Professor of Theology in the University of Edinburgh, Dr. Chalmers. On the mode of Baptism, this eminent writer has, in a recent publication, frankly stated what the word Baptism, in the law of Christ, signifies, and what was, without doubt, the apostolical practice. The reader will find extracts upon these points at pages 71 and 47.

Nor is it less pleasing to introduce the candid account which Professor Jewett, of Marietta College, Ohio, has lately given of his deep and thorough investigation of this subject, - to which he was called in the providence of God, and which ultimately led him not merely to grant concessions to the truth, but to adopt different views and a different practice to those of his former life.

It is not intended by these remarks that the reader should attach any decisive importance to the opinions of uninspired men. The word of God alone should decide whatever pertains to religious duty. At the same time, the result of such a deep and thorough investigation of the subject, (as in the case last referred to,) by a man of high theological attainments and station, with a mind capable of grasping the subject in all its bearings upon the Christian system, and of erudition to enable to him ascertain the precise sense of original terms employed in the law of Christ, as well as the practice of the church in the first and purest period of her history, - such a result, presented to the public in a truly Christian spirit, deserves and demands the most serious attention; and is a loud call to others, desirous of knowing and doing the will of Christ, to examine the subject for themselves.

The following is the account referred to, given by Professor Jewett in a letter to a friend. It is dated July 7, 1838: -

"About eighteen months ago, an elder of the Presbyterian church to which I was preaching in the country, became a Baptist.
