The Moral Dignity Of Baptism PDF Download

Excerpt from The Moral Dignity of Baptism This book is a growth. It was written because the message burned in the heart for utterance. Here my heart has said its earnest word concerning this ordinance of the Lord's house. Early in my preacher-life circumstances led me to an extensive comparative study of the creeds of the different denominations. I shall never cease to be grateful for that study, for its effects were marked and manifold. For one thing, it gave me genuine admiration and more generous fellowship for those of other faith than our own. I came to know what they believe and the reasons for their faith, and considered them sincere in their convictions, and even in what some call their prejudices. This sentiment has been deepened as the years have gone on; and some of the most delightful companionships in my several pastorates have been found among preachers and laymen of other denominations. My relations with them have been in every way pleasant, and I have accorded them all I could wish for myself. There has been a friendly freedom that allowed the expression of my convictions without abatement. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
