Forasmuch
as Almighty God by His grace, has been pleased to call us out of darkness into
His marvelous light, and all of us have been regularly baptized upon a
profession of our faith in Christ Jesus, and have given up ourselves to the
Lord, and to one another, in a gospel church way, to be governed and guided by a
proper discipline, agreeable to the word of God; We do therefore in the name of
our Lord Jesus, and by His assistance, covenant and agree to keep up the
discipline of the church we are members of, in the most brotherly affection
towards each other, while we endeavor particularly to observe the following
rules, viz:
In brotherly love to pray for each other, to watch over one
another, and, if need be, in the most tender and affectionate manner, to reprove
one another, that is, if we discover anything amiss in a brother, to go and tell
him his fault, according to the direction given by our Lord in the Eighteenth
Chapter of Matthew, and not to be whispering and backbiting. We also
agree, with God's assistance, to pray in our families, attend our church
meetings, observe the Lord's Day and keep it holy, and not absent ourselves from
the communion of the Lord's Supper without a lawful excuse; to be ready to
communicate to the defraying of the Church's expenses, and for the support of
the ministry; not irregularly depart from the fellowship of the Church, nor to
distant churches without a regular dismission.
These things we do covenant and agree to observe and keep
sacred in the name of and by the assistance of God, the Father, Son, and Holy
Ghost. Amen.
1. We
believe in one only true and living God, and the Trinity of the Godhead--
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,-- and yet not three but one God. (Deuteronomy
6:4; Malachi 2:10; I Corinthians 8:6; I John 5:7)
2. We believe that the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the
words of God and the only rule of faith and practice. We prefer the
translation made under the authority of King James and now extant. (II Timothy
3:16; II Peter 1:20-21)
3. We believe that the whole of the human family were created in Adam,
their seminal head, and all alike fell in him by his transgressions of the law,
and all partake of his sinful nature. (Acts 17:26; Romans 5:12, 18-19)
4. We believe in the covenant of redemption by the Holy Trinity and that
a definite number of the fallen sons and daughters of Adam were chosen in Christ
before the world began, that they should be holy and without blame before Him in
love. (II Samuel 23:5, Hebrews 13:20; Ephesians 1:4; John 6:37-41; II
Timothy 1:9; Psalm 65:4; 49:8-9; John 17:2)
5. We believe that all the chosen in Christ shall be called, regenerated,
and sanctified by the Holy Spirit and that they will all be justified in the
sight of God by the righteousness of Christ being imputed to them, and will be
preserved through Grace and never fall finally away. (John 6:45; II
Thessalonians 2:13; John 10:28-29; Hebrews 8:10; II Peter 1:5; John 17:11; Jude
1:1)
6. We believe that evangelical faith is the gift of God and good works
are the fruits of faith and justify us in the sight of men and angels as
evidences of our gracious state. (Ephesians 2:8, 10; Galatians 5:22-23;
Romans 8:8; Hebrews 11:16; James 2:17-26)
7. We believe that all spiritual blessings that are essential to or for
the consummation of the eternal salvation of the elect were given them in Christ
before the world began and in time bestowed upon them by virtue of His atonement
for them. (Ephesians 1:3, 4; John 1:16)
8. We believe that baptism and the Lord's supper are ordinances of Jesus
Christ and that true believers are the only fit subjects of baptism, and that
immersion is the only apostolic mode. (Matthew 18:19, 20; Acts 8:12,
38-39; Romans 6:4; Matthew 3:13, 17; 26:26, 29; Mark 14: 23, 25)
9. We believe that washing the saints feet is a duty enjoined by Jesus
Christ, and should be done in a church capacity. (John 13:4, 16; I Timothy
5:10; Matthew 28:20)
10. We believe that no minister has any right to administer the
ordinances of the gospel but one who is regularly baptized and called of God,
and has come under the imposition of the hands of the presbytery. (Acts
13:2,3; Hebrews 5:4; Matthew 9:38)
11. We believe that none but regularly baptized believers have a right to
commune at the Lord's table. (Luke 22:29, 30; Matthew 26:20, 29)
12. We believe in the resurrection of the just and the unjust, and that
the vile bodies of the saints shall be fashioned like the glorious body of
Christ, and that the felicity of the saints and punishment of the wicked will be
everlasting. (Philippians 3:21; Romans 8:11; John 5:28, 29)
