SAMUEL JONES CIRCULAR LETTER OF 1781...

[We publish this Circular Letter to demonstrate that not all Particular Baptists believed in the so-called Covenant Theology, including the covenant of Works in the Garden of Eden.  Since this was approved by the Philadelphia Baptist Association, it shows that in general American Regular and Particular Baptists did not hold to present day Covenant Theology.]  The elders and messengers of the several churches met in Association at Philadelphia, October 23d, 1781.To the several churches in union -with this Association, send greeting.

WHAT ADAM WAS, AND WHAT HE LOST BY THE FALL...

We feel a pleasure when we are enabled to help the mind of any brother or sister, on any subject of divine revelation on which they may be laboring in searching after the truth as it is in Jesus, but we have not the vanity to believe that we are able to meet and put to silence all the cavils and vain speculations which may be presented against what we honestly understand to be the plain and obvious testimony of the Scriptures of truth.

ADAM AND MEANS...

A few questions came to my mind this morning regarding "means" in salvation, particularly in relation to Adam.  I know there are some who believe Adam was the first reprobate and others who believe he was the first of the election of grace.  For argument's sake we shall take the latter position.
