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
have persecuted as believers baptized and they please not God and are contrary to all men For bidding us speak unto the Gentiles that they might be saved to fill up their sins alwayes For the wrath of God is come on them unto the uttermost 1 Thes 2 15.16 Qu. Matth. 23.33 34 35 36. So that the trembling cry out How shall we escape the wrath of God that is coming on us for consenting to shed the blood of the Saints and prophets that contend for the Gospel faith namely that Jesus who was crucified dead and risen is the Christ Act. 2 36 Answ Must not the Gospel minister to whom is committed the word of reconciliation 2 Cor. 5.18 preach unto them the everlasting Gospel As Peter did to the inquiring Jevvs Act. 2.38 Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for remission of sins And ye shall receive the gift of the holy spirit For the promise is to you and to your Children viz. to the Jews first Act. 3.36 unto you first God hath raised up his Son Jesus Christ sent him to blesse you in turning away every one of you from your iniquiries Secondly sent him to blesse you first in fulfilling the Prophesy of Joel Joel 2 28 In powering out his spirit upon your Sones and Daughters And to all viz. flesh afar off the remotest Gentiles and even so many as the Lord our God shall call 39. v And with many other words he must testifie and exhort saying Save your selves from this untoward generation 40 Seeing the Gospel of Jesus the Christ is eternall 1 Pet 1.25 And whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning that we through patience and comforts of the Scriptures might have hope Rom 15.4 Now so many as shall gladly receive that is believe John 1.12 this Gospel of Salvation and arise and be baptized shall be saved from the wrath that is coming on them As Noah and his family were by faith saved in the arke from perishing by water Heb 11 7 seeing the Apostle saith the like figure whereunto even baptisme doth also save us viz. that believe by the resurrection of Jesus Christ So. the Lord added daly to his Church such as should be saved Act. 2 47. 8. Because none of what ranke or degrees soever can prove themselves Saints by calling and that intruth they have a visible right to be admitted into the spirituall house even to the fellowship of Saints in breaking of bread and prayer 1. Namely untill they have manifested their repentance from dead workes by saving or seperating of themselves from those false states whom the spirit of God calleth lyers and Antichristians that deny the Father and the Son 1 John 2 23 that persecute the members of Christ for contending for the Gospel faith of Jesus the Christ Math. 16 16 Luke 24 46 47. 1 John 51 1. Once given unto the Saints 〈◊〉 Saul Act. 9. and Jaylour once did Act 16 24. 2. Vntill they manifect to them that demand in a reason of the hopes that is in them by a beliefe of the heart and a confession of their lips that the Lord Jesus who was crucified dead and risen is exalted to be the Christ as the Enuch did to Philip Acts 8.37 3. Vntill they yeeld obedience unto the Gospel Commandement Be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins Act 2 38. because it is written He that saith I know him that is Jesus the Christ and keepeth not his Commandements is a lyer and there is no truth in him 1 John 2.4 Seeing these three principles of the doctrine of Christ Are the way for all that truly believe in Jesus the Christ to take up and walke in as the members of the Churches of Judea which were in Christ once did Heb. 6.1 2. before they were added unto the Church to continue in the Apostles doctrine and fellowship in breaking of bread and prayer Act. 2 41 42. 9. Because there is no promise of salvation for any whether they be males or females but for them onely that believe in Jesus the Christ Act. 4.10 11 12. For there is salvation in none other 10. Because there is no promise of pardon of sin for any persons save onely for them that believe in the blood of Jesus the Christ 1 John 1.7 the blood of Jesus Christ his Son which cleanseth from all sin 11. Because no manner of persons whatsoever have aright to all or any of the promises untill they believe in Jesus the Christ 2 Cor. 3.20 For all the promises in him that is in Jesus the Christ are yee And in him Amen Knowing that till we are made one with Jesus the Christ by faith Gal. 3.28.29 ye are all one in Christ if Christ then Abraham seed then heires according to promise v. 29. We are but strangers from the Covenant of promise and without hope in the world Ephes 1.12 verse 1. 12. Because no Son of the first Adam hath a spirituall right to any of the creatures to be sanctified for his life But as their life and spirituall intrest is restored to them through faith in Jesus the Christ 1 Cor. 3.21 All things are yours 22. Whether Paul or Apollos or Caephas or the world or life or death or things present or things to come all are yours And ye are Christ And Christ is Gods 1 Cor. 3.23 13. Because there is no hope of the resurrection of the dead nor of an assurance of the eternal inheritance in glory but through Faith in Iesus the Christ 1 Cor. 15.22 Ioh. 11. â—5 Jesâ—â— said I am the Resurrection and the Life he that beleiveth in the though he were dead yet shall he live And he that liveth and beleiveth in me shal not dye for ever 1 Pet. 1.3 4 5 vers 14. I affirm that no man by what name or title soever he be called can prove himself a faithfull Teacher sent of God unlesse he beleive with all his heart and confesse with his lips that the Lord Iesus is the Christ vid. the eternall King and Prophet and Priest of his Church in things appertaining unto his conscience First I do conceive that in this all the learned and loyall Covenantors in the Nation do agree with me that Iesus the Christ is annointed of God to be our eternall High-Priest that ever liveth to reconcile us unto God Heb. 7.25 But the difference is whether the same Iesus the Christ is annointed and appointed of God to be our Prophet Mat. 17.5 This is my beloved Son hear him And that in all things whatsoever he shall say unto us Act. 3.22 So Moses and the Apostle Peter testifieth Deut. 18.18 the danger followeth if we hear him not our souls must perish Act. 3.23 Now Iesus the Christ saith in the Scriptures of the New Testament that professing Faith and Repentance shall be baptized Heb. 6.12 Act. 8.36 37 38. Act. 2.41 They which gladly received his
