Confession of Faith, According to the Holy Word of God.
Second Part. · AN ACCOUNT OF THE HOLY BAPTISM IN THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY.
“When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.” Col. 3:4.
“Thine eyes shall see the King in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off. Thine heart shall meditate terror.” Is. 33:17,18.
Of all who from a true faith shall show forth the required spiritual virtues, and shall continue to the end in this divine calling, read: “If ye do these things, ye shall never fall: for so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” 2 Peter 1:10,11.
Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. Rev. 13:10.
We feel now that we have fulfilled the promise which we made in the beginning concerning the matter of holy baptism, and other articles of Christian worship; with which, we trust, those who fear God and love the truth will content themselves; hence we conclude this, and proceed to the steadfast martyrs who in the sixteenth century suffered for the name of Jesus Christ, and his holy truth.
