Sinossi
Excerpt from Scriptural Views for Holy Baptism: With an Appendix
Still, those who, under more popular names, are following the teaching of Zuingli, and, with Zuingli, explain away the force of their Saviour's words, are very far from meaning to be guilty of this irreverence. It is not because I think that they love not their Saviour, but because they love Him, and because I think that that love is in danger of being in jured by the slight which modern systems put upon His ordinances and His words, that I have especially urged, (p. 16 sqq.) them to reconsider His words (st. John iii. And the rejection of an explanation of those words, which they have inherited, but which seems to me in itself inconsistent with reverence for Him. I wished namely that they would ponder the bearing of His words Except a man be born of water and the Spirit, apart from any modern systems, any temporary circumstances, any regard to consequences, not as a text in a theological controversy, but as uttered by Him, before whose mind the future history of His Church was open, and who was providing for her necessities. And since His Church has, from the very first, rested the doctrine of the heavenly birth in Baptism upon these His words, and has regarded that His gift as unreserved as His words are unlimited, surely we must think that if He had intended her to understand His words more restrainedly, He would Himself have limited them. As itis, He has given no hint, either that the peculiar privileges and powers of the Chris tian new-birth are bestowed ordinarily, without the water.

Valutazione del venditore 4 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the theological complexities surrounding Holy Baptism, a subject that has long been debated within the Christian Church. The author argues that the true meaning of Baptism has been obscured by modern interpretations, leading to confusion and a diminished understanding of its significance. The book delves into the historical roots of this confusion, tracing the origins of alternative interpretations back to the 16th century. The author passionately defends the traditional understanding of Baptism as a Sacrament, emphasizing its profound spiritual impact and its role in the Christian life. He challenges the notion that Baptism is merely a symbolic act, arguing that it is a powerful instrument of God's grace that grants forgiveness and rebirth into a new life in Christ. The author contends that this traditional understanding, rooted in the teachings of the early Church, is essential for preserving the true meaning of the Gospel. Throughout the book, the author carefully examines key passages of Scripture, comparing the interpretations of the ancient Church to those of later theologians. He highlights the importance of recognizing the authority of the early Church, which, in his view, offers a more accurate understanding of God's Word than modern interpretations. This insightful book offers a compelling re-examination of Holy Baptism, revealing the depth and richness of this ancient Christian sacrament and reminding readers of its importance in the spiritual journey.
