mleslOHj anu Dy ODeylnB thie Voih-
mand they were promised the gift
of the Holy Ghost. The plan OF
salvation is made up of facts TO be
believed, commands to be obeyed,
and Of promises to be rewarded.
We believe ir these facts, obey
these commands, then the promise
of salvation is ours. For Paul
says: HE is the author of etern-
al salvation to all them who obey
Him." 1t follows therefore as a
necessary consequence that He Is
not the author of salvation to the
disobedient. Faith is the starting
point of christianity. 1t COM
mences in faith and ends in char
ity, or the love OF God is the
browning sheaf in the Christian
religion. Peter says in his second
epistle:" Add to your faith virtue,
knowledge, and to knowledge
temperance, and to temperance
patience, and to patience God
liness, and to Go dim ess,
brotherly kindness, and TO
brotherly kindness charity; for
If these be in you and abound they
make you that you shall neither
be barren nor unfruitful in the
knowledge Of our Lord, Jesus
Christ. He that lacketh these
things is blinded and cannot see
afar off and hath forgotten that he
was purged from his old sins.'
"We are all the children Of God
BY faith, 'hsays Paul, Tior as smany
Of you as have been baptized into
Christ, have put on Christ" We
are all saved by faith, but not by
faith alone, for faith without works
is dead, just as the body without
the spirit is dead. We are saved
by repentance, but not by repent.
ance alone. Repentance is one Of
1 the works Of faith.
We are saved by baptism, but
not by baptism alone, for il is also
one of the works of faith. There
are also other conditions of saliva
tion: Confession, and calling on
the Lord. Paul says: 1.-THE word
of faith which we preach is nigh
thee even in thy mouth and in thy
hear, and ifthou shalt confess with
thy mouth the Lord Jesus and be-
lieve in the heart that God raised
him from the dead, thou shalt be
saved; for with the heart man be-
lieveth unto righteousness and
with the mouth confession is made
unto salvation" +" Paul also says:
"It shall come to pass that who
soever shall call on the name of
the Lord shall be saved" Christ
says: "Ask and We shall receive,
knock and it she'll be opened unto
you" We then have faith, con-
fession, repentance, baptism, and
calling on the name of the Lord as
the conditions Of salvation. These
are the conditions of salvation, as
taught by Peter on the day Of
Pentecost, when asked by the be-
lieving Jews "what we must do"
These are the principals that
Jesus taught his disciples when be
met them after bis resurrection
and commanded them "Go ye
therefore and teach all nations,
babtizing them in the name of the
Father and OF the Son and of the
Holy Ghost, teaching them 10 OBJ
serve all things whatsoever | have
commanded you, etc" Christ
said to his deciples: "Tarry ye in
the city Of Jerusalem unit
ye be indued with power

which put words into his mouth,
commanded the multitude on the
day Of Pcntecost 10 "repent andlbe
baptized every onvsof you In the
name Of Jesus Christ, for the re-
mission Of sins and hallreceive
the gift of the Holy Ghost" Too
qua-stee says that these are tim
perative sentences, and donot teach
general principle or dootrine.''
Is TINS so? If SO, we have no
plan of salvation because Christi :
plans are given in imperative
sentences to teach, tosbelieve, 10
repent, to be baptisdd, to love and
to obey. In all fairness, we cam
not see by what rule Too-qua-stee
can strike out the word baptism
without striking out the words
teach, faith and repentance, to-
gether with the gift of the Holy
Ghost, as they all appear IN i'm
perative sentences, which he says
are not "didactic," and do not
teach anything doctrinal. Too
qua-stee, am astonished that a
man of your learning and ability
would make such an assertion as
this in the face OF the fact that
Peter taught the whole plan of
salvation in this one sentence. 1t
contains all the doctrines and .all
the conditions in the whole plan
Of salvation in a nu: shell. And
yet Too-qua-stee wipes it all out
with a few strokes Of his reckless
pen and tells us that baptism is
not necessary to salvation. in the
face Of a solemn command of an
inspired apostle, who lie speaking
as the Spirit gives him utterance,
He denies one of the essential
commands, without which we can-
not enter into the kingdom Of God
Nevertheless, Too.qua-siee tells
us that we can enter the kingdom
Of Heaven without being born Of
water. CHRIST taught in the COM
mission, "Go ye into all the world
and preach the gospel to every
creature. be that believeth and is
baptized shall be saved, and be
that believth not shall be damned. "
