We also believe and confess that before his ascension
he instituted his New Testament, and, since it
was to be and remain an eternal Testament, that he
confirmed and sealed the same with his precious
blood, and gave and left it to his disciples, yea,
charged them so highly with it, that neither angel
nor man may alter it, nor add to it nor take away
from it; and that he has caused the same, as containing
the whole counsel and will of his heavenly
Father, as far as is necessary for salvation to be
proclaimed in his name by his beloved apostles,
messengers, and ministers—whom he called, chose,
and sent into all the world for that purpose—among
all peoples, nations, and tongues; and repentance
and remission of sins to be preached and testified of;
and that he accordingly has therein declared all men
without distinction, who through faith, as obedient
children, heed, follow, and practice what the same
contains, to be his children and lawful heirs; thus
excluding no one from the precious inheritance of
eternal salvation, except the unbelieving and disobedient,
the stiffnecked and obdurate, who despise
it, and incur this through their own sins, thus making
themselves unworthy of eternal life. Jer. 31:31;
Heb. 9:15–17; Matt. 26:28; Gal. 1:8; 1 Tim.
6:3; John 15:15; Matt. 28:19; Mark 16:15; Luke
24:47; Rom. 8:17; Acts 13:46.
