2  CONFESSION   OF   FAITH.
"  We  believe  that  the  Son  of  God,  who  is  equal  with
the  Father,  having  taken  upon  himself  our  nature,
and  thus  becoming  man  as  well  as  God,  did,  by  his
sufferings  and  death  in  our  stead,  make  atonement
for  our  sins ;  that  he  rose  from  the  dead  and  ascended
into  heaven ;  where  he  ever  liveth  to  make  interces-
sion for  his  people.
We  believe  that  through  him  God  offers  forgive-
ness to  all  men  ;  and  that  every  sinner  who  turns  to
God  by  repentance,  and  relies  upon  the  Lord  Jesus
Christ  by  faith,  is  justified  by  His  righteousness.
We  believe  that  the  Holy  Ghost,  who  is  very  God,
by  special  agency  works  in  all  those  who  are  chosen
to  salvation,  that  change  of  heart  from  sin  to  holi-
ness, without  which  no  man  can  enter  into  the  king-
dom of  God  ;  and  though  God  will  save  no  man  who
does  not  work  out  his  own  salvation  to  the  end,  yet,
whenever  he  commences  a  good  work,  we  believe,
through  sovereign  grace,  the  Holy  Ghost  will  surely
work  in  that  man  to  will  and  to  do  until  the  day  of
Jesus  Christ.
We  believe  that  God  has  revealed  all  things  neces-
sary to  salvation  in  the  Scriptures  of  the  Old  and
New  Testament ;  which,  being  given  by  the  inspira-
tion of  the  Holy  Spirit,  are  the  only  infallible  rule  of
faith  and  practice.
