Description
Excerpt from Sermons on Christian Doctrine
Galatians iii. 26 - 29. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ''s, then are ye Abraham''s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Wherever opposite views are held with warmth by religious-minded men, we may take for granted that there is some higher truth which embraces both. All high truth is the union of two contradictories. Thus predestination and freewill are opposites: and the truth does not lie between these two, but in a higher reconciling truth which leaves both true. So with the opposing views of baptism. Men of equal spirituality are ready to sacrifice all to assert, or to deny, the doctrine of baptismal regeneration. And the truth, I believe, will be found, not in some middle, moderate, timid doctrine, which skilfully avoids extremes, but in a truth larger than either of these Opposite views, which is the basis of both, and which really is that for which each party tenaciously clings to its own View, as to a matter of life and death.
The present occasion1 only requires us to examine three Views.
