Confession Of Faith Rules And Discipline Of The Defenseless Mennonite Church PDF Download

Excerpt from Mennonite Articles of Faith: As Set Forth in Public Confession of the Church There are many and weighty arguments upon which this our faith rests. Of these we give the fol lowing: (a) The teaching contained in these holy books transcends the laws or the light of nature, but in no wise contradicts them. (b) The contents thereof are al together worthy of God and invite reverence for Him. (c) All that is contained therein serves to the attain ment of holy ends; as the glory of God, the good of one's neighbor, and one's own happiness. (d) The holy writers were persons of distinguished piety and upright ness, who neither evidenced credulity nor sought their own glory, justification or temporal advantage in this work, much less could they obtain such; but their sole object was the glory of God and the salvation and peace of their fellowmen. (e) By means of supernatural mir acles, fulfillment of prophecies, and many other things, God convinced them, and us through them, of their di vine mission. Moreover, everyone who yields himself in honest obedience and submission to the Word of God, finds peace of heart and obtains for himself the assur ance of the truth.
