Word were baptized But where doth Christ say that the Infant of a Beleiver or the Seed of Beleivers shall be baptized 1. If any Teacher affirm they may and have not a word from Iesus the Christ to warrant what he saith he is a false Teacher and by the Law hâ— is accursed Deut. 18 20. But the Prophet which shall presume to speak a word in my Name which I have not commanded him to speak even that Prophet shall dy 2. He is a lying Teacher for he addeth to the word Seed or Infant of a Beleiver â—â—at God hath not added Prov. 30.6 Add not thou to his word lest he reprove thee and thou be found a lyar ye shall not add unto the Word which I have commanded you Deut. 4.2 If any shall add to these words God will add unto him all the Plagues written in this Book Rev. 22.18 3. He is a lying Teacher that cometh in his own name Ioh. 5.43 and God hath not sent him Ier. 23.25 they cause my people to forget my Name by their dreams as their Father hath forgotten my Name for Baal 2.7 the Prophet that hath a dream let him tell a dream And he that hath my Word let him speak my Word faithfully what is Chaff to the Wheat saith the Lord vers 28. 4. 〈◊〉 saith thâ—ugh it were himself or an Angel from Heaven that should preach any other Gospel unto you then that we have preached that Jesus who was crucified dead and risen through whom we that beleive in his Name shall have remission of sinnes whom God hath exalted to be the Christ let him be accursed Gal. 18 9. Thirdly the same Jesus the Christ is annointed and appointed of God to be our eternall King and that his Commission shall be eternall Matth. 28.18 19 20. Mar. 16.15 16. Luk. 24.46 47 48. Now the Commission of King Jesus saith such as beleive the Gospell Faith of Jesus the Christ shall be baptized but Infidels and unbeleivers are not to be baptized Now saith Christ these mine Enemies that would not I should reign King and Prophet in all my outward administrations according to my Royal Commission given me of my Father when he raised me from the dead Mat. 28.18 19 20. in admitting of members into my spirituall Kingdom bring them hither and slay them before me Luke 19.27 Hence it is that Christs sheep refuse to hear the voyce of those false Teachers that refuse to obey the voice of Jesus the Christ their King and Prophet Ioh. 10.4 5. 1. Because they in denying the Sonnes authority to the eternall King and Prophet of the Church they deny the Father that sanctified his Son and sent him into the world Iohn 10 36. and raised him from the dead and exalted him to be Lord Christ Act. 2.36 2. He that honoureth not the Son as King and Prophet honoureth not the Father that sent him Iosh 5.23 3. They refuse to hear the voyce of those Teachers that preach for Doctrine the commandement of men because in so doing they make the Commission of Jesus the Christ their King and Prophet Matth. 28.18 19 20. of none effect that they may keep their own traditions Matth. 15.3 6. 4. They are commanded to mark and avoid all â—uch as cause division contrary to the Doctrine of Christ that they have learned of him Rom. 16.16 17 18. 5. Yea to withdraw from them that teach otherwise and consent not to the wholesome words even the words of the Lord Jesus Christ and the Doctrine which is according to godlinesse 〈◊〉 6 3 4 5. 6. Yea from all such as transgresse and abide not in the doâ—â—rine of Christ they are commanded not to bid God-speed For he that biddeth them God-speed is partakers of their evill deeds 2 Iob. 9.10 11. If these things be so as the holy Scripture heareth record that they are Resolve me then I pray And beseech any that are truly godly and learned judicious loyall Covenanters this following Quaere Qu. Whether it be agreeable to the Word of God contained in the inspired Scriptures to silence or inhibite any Ministers of Iesus the Christ for preaching the Gospel Faith freely Namely that Iesus Christ who was crucified dead and risen is the Christ Act. 2.36 Through whose Name all that beleive shall receive remission of sins Act. 10.43 and maintaining publiquely with Apollo against all opposers that the Lord Iesus is the Christ Act. 18.28 As the Iews of old cast the blind man out of their Synagogue for confessing that Iesus was the Christ Ioh. 9.22 34. Yours who refuseth not to bear any Orthodox Ministry that doth beleive with all their hearts and confesse with their lips that the Lord Iesus is the Christ 1 Ioh. 5.1 FRANCIS CORNVVEL Orpington in Kent Feb. 14. 1645. A Postscript NOw I know that the English Ministery Tit. 1.16 professe that the Lord Iesus is the Christ I do eanestly desire that they would resolve me then these two Quaeres Qu. 1. What is the everlasting Gospel that Iesus the Christ commanded his Disciples to preach to all Nations beginning at Hierusalem Qu. 2. Whether they preach now the everlasting Gospel in the same manner to them that inquire after it As Peter did to the troubling Iewes Act. 2 3â— Yours that waiteth for your answer resolving to be one with you so far as you are one with JESUS the CHRIST FRANCIS CORNVVEL Februar 17. 1645.
TWO QVERIES worthy of serious Consideration concerning the Gospel Faith of the LORD JESUS the CHRIST once given unto the Saints Matth. 16.16 1 Ioh. 5.1 1 Qu. WHether that ministery that preacheth freely the Gospel faith that the Lord Jesus is the Christ as the Apostle Peter did Act. 2.36 Bee not truly orthodox I that am a loyall Covenanter for a pure Reformation in England and Jreland according to the Word of God maintaine that they are truly Orthodox for these reasons The Word of Christ being the Judge of the controversie John 12.48 1. Because Jesus the Christ is the Rock the foundation of the spirituall house 1 Peter 2.4.5 Which house are we Heb. 3.6 vid. believers in Jesus the Christ baptized that continue in the Doctrine of the Apostles Ephes 2.20 and in breaking of bred and prayer Acts 2.42 Seeing other foundations no man can lay save that is layd Jesus Christ 1 Cor. 3.11 For their salvation in none other Acts 4.11.12 1. Pet. 2.6 Esa 28.16 2. Because this is the primative faith or confession that Peter made upon the rehersal of the divers opinions that went of Christ Matth. 16.13.14 thou art the Christ the Son of the living God upon which confession Christ pronounceth Peter blessed Blessed art thou Symon Barjona flesh and blood hath not revealed this unto thee but my father in Heaven To this Gospel faith that Jesus was the Christ whom Peter confessed the power of the keys were given Matth. 16.19 I will give unto thee the keys of the Kingdome and what thou bindeth on earth shall be bound in Heaven c. And Peter communicated it to the whole Church that had obtained like precious faith in Jesus the Christ with him 2 Pet. 1.1 Then they had the like precious priviledge to binde and looses as appeareth Matth. 18.17 18. 3. Because the confession of this Gospel faith that Jesus is the Christ doth manifest and declare to the 〈◊〉 that aske them Whether they be males or females that they are borne from above of the holy Spirit John 5.1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is borne of God Iohn 1.12.13 Yea and taught of the holy Spirit 1 Cor. 12.3 For no man can say that is confesse as Peter did that Jesus is the Lord and Christ but by the holy Spirit 4. Because they that confesse that Jesus is the Christ as the En … did to Philip and are baptized manifest that they are borne of water and of the holy Spirit and are fit spirituall mattâ—r livâ—â—y stones that have received life from Jesus the Christ living stone to be received into the spirituall kingdome of the Lord Jesus John 5.5 Except a man be borne of water and the holy Spirit he cannot enter into the Kingdome of God And as many as are baptized into Christ have put on Christ Gal. 3 27. vidilicet by a visible profession that all the world may know whose disciples they are Here it is said John 4.1 The Pharisies heard that Jesus made and baptized more Disciples then John he made them that is he manifested that they were his disciples heare baptisme manifested Jesus to Jsrael at Jordan to be the Son of God John 1.31 compared with Matth. 3.16.17 5. Because it is the Gospel faith that Jesus commanded his Disciples to preach after his resurrection unto all Nations Luke 24.46 Thus it behoveth the Christ to suffer and to rise againe the third day 47. And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name amongst all Nations beginning at Hierusalem 48 And ye are witnesses of these things 6. Because there was no way revealed for the poore trembling Jews that were pricked in their hearts at the preaching of Peter for crucifying the Christ Act 21.36 to save themselves from that froward generation who had killed the Lord Jesus and their own Prophets upon whom the wrath of God was coming to the uttermost 1 Thes 2.14 15 16. When they cryed out what shall we do untill they yeeld obedience to the voice of the everlasting Gospel that the holy Spirit speak to them by the mouth of Peter Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus the Christ for the remission of sinns And ye shall receive the gift of the holy Spirit For the promise is to you and to your Children and to them that are a far off even so many us the Lord our God shall call And with many such other words he said save your soules from this froward generatioâ— Then they which gladly received his word were baptized and added to them three thousand soules Act. 2.38 39 â—0 41. And the Lord added to the Church dayly such as should be saved Act. 2.47 7. Neither is there any other way revealed by the holy Spirit in the Scriptures for them who have lived in Idolatrous and superstitious times amongst them that have denyed that Jesus is the Christ whom the holy Spirit of God calleth lyers and Antichristians that denyeth the Father and the Sonne 1 John 2 22 For in denying the Sons authority to be the eternall King â—nâ— Prophet of his Church in all his outward administrations according to his royall Commission Matth. 28 18 19 20. Mark 16 15 16. Luke 24 46 47 in admitting of members into his spirituall Kingdome though they own him their eternall Priest that ever liveth to make intercession to God for them Heb. 7.25 Because Christ divided becometh no Christ to the divider They in so doing deny the Father that sanctifieth the Son and sent him into the world John 10 36. and raised him from the dead and exalted him to be Lord and Christ Act. 2 36 Eternall King and Prophet of his Church as well as Priest now when they through the Gospel ministery which God that cannot lye hath promised to raise up againe to prophesy before many people and Nations and Tongues and Kings Revel 10.11 Compared with Revel 14.6 shall through the inward work of the holy spirit be pricked in their hearts that they have been in the number of them that have persecuted Jesus the Christ in his members that have contended for the Gospel faith of Jesus the Christ Matth. 16 16 Luke 24.46.47 1 John 5 1. once given unto the Saints And for which cause the wrath of God is coming on all those false states whom the holy Spirit of God calleth Lyers and Antichristians that deny the Father and the Son as I have shewed you before in a few words 1 John 2 22. Because in them is found the blood of Prophets and Saints and all that were slaine upon the earth Revel 18 24 as once was of old in the Jewish state which the Apostle Peter calleth a froward generation which that Apostle exhorted the trembling Jews that were pricked in their hearts crying out What shall we do to save themselves from and the Apostle Paul rendereth this reason Because they had both killed the Lord Jesus and their own Prophets and they
