And  in  Jesus  Christ,  the  Son  of  God,  who  died  for  us

i  >  heaven,  exalted  to  the  right  hand  of  the  Father,  as  a

world,  sending  the  wicke  d  away  from  his  presence  into
everlasting  punishment,  and  receiving  the  righteous  into
eternal  blessedness;
And  in  the  Holy  Ghost,  who  by  his  powerful  operation
in  tho  renewal  of  our  hearts  makes  the  redemption  by
Christ  effectual  to  salvation.
Thus  you  believe?
And  in  this  faith  you  have  been,  or  wish  to  be,  baptized  ?
