covenant and baptism SAMPLE

The Covenant and Baptism
the remission of our sins, 4 th , Our separation to
God. ― It is expressly called the profession of our
faith. ― Objections answered, Matt. 19:13. 15; Acts
2:38, 39, 3:25; Rom. 11:16; 1 Cor. 7:14; 1 Pet. 3:21.
3. Of the Covenant with Abraham and it’s
supposed connection with Baptism ..................... 85
Evils arising from confounding the old and new
covenants. This the foundation of all Antichristian
worship. No danger of the Apostles mistaking the
meaning of the commission. No law of Moses more
explicit. The sanctification of the Lord’s day stands
on very different grounds than infant baptism. The
argument for infant baptism from the covenant
with Abraham, proceeds on a mistaken view of that
covenant ― It is improperly called the covenant of
grace ― was not the new covenant ― The original
promise to Abraham ― Three distinct promises
afterward given him. These had both a literal and
spiritual meaning ― This signified in what befell
Isaac and Ishmael ― These promises peculiar to
Abraham ― The children of believers not interested
in the salvation of Christ till they believe, and
consequently are in this respect on a footing with
others. God declared, even under the old covenant,
that their descent alone would not profit them.
Believers have great encouragement to train up their
children in the fear of God ― What reason the
Scripture gives us to expect spiritual blessings to be
conveyed by birth ― Baptism never called the token
