r>.  We  believe  that  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  who  is  both
God  ami  man,  lias,  by  hifl  Bufferings  and  death,  made
atonement  fur  sin,  ami  that  all  who  aro  saved  are  justified
wholly  by  grace,  through  the  redemption  which  is  in
Christ.
G.  We  believe  that  salvation  is  freely  offered  to  all  men,
and  that  all  arc  under  obligation,  immediately  to  emhrace
the  gospel  ;  hut  thai  such  is  the  depravity  of  the  human
heart,  that  no  man  will  come  to  Christ,  unless  ho  is  led
by  the  Spirit  of  I  Sod.
7.  We  believe  that  all  who  embrace  the  gospel,  were
from  the  beginning  chosen  unto  salvation,  through  sencti-
AcatlOD  of  the  Spirit  and  belief  of  tho  truth;  and  that
they  will  be  kept  by  the  power  of  God  through  faith  unto
salvation.
8.  "We  believe  that  there  will  bo  a  resurrection  of  the
just  and  of  the  unjust,  and  a  day  of  general  judgment ;
and  that  the  wicked  will  go  away  into  punishment,  and
the  righteous  into  happiness,  both  of  which  will  bo  with-
out end.
0.  We  believe  that  in  this  world  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ
has  a  visible  Church,  the  terms  of  admission  to  which  are
a  credible  evidence  of  regeneration,  baptism,  and  a  public
profession  of  faith  in  Christ ;  that  the  ordinances  of  bap-
tism and  the  Lord's  Supper  are  to  be  observed  to  tho  end
of  the  world;  that  none  but  members  of  tho  visible  Church
have  a  right  to  the  Lord's  Supper,  and  that  such,  and
BUCh  only,  have  a  right  to  dedicate  their  infant  offspring
in  baptism.
