RR: THE DECLINE OF OLD SCHOOL BAPTISTS?...

One dear brother opined that the end must be near, and well it might; but not because of a decline among the Old School.

SOT: FREE WILL 2...

Having found the origin of the free-will system we will proceed to shew its inconsistency with the doctrine of God, for the scriptures fully declare that man is corrupt throughout. “That every imagination of the thoughts of his heart, is evil, and only evil, and that continually,” that the “Carnal mind is enmity against God, is not subject to his law neither indeed can be.”

SOT: FREE WILL...

We will now proceed to remark on our fourth proposition, which is holding the absurd doctrine, that salvation in any measure depends on the free-will of creatures, and yet is the absolute free gift of God through grace, depending on his Election.

God's Decree

RR: PREDESTINATION...

The following piece was written several years ago as a response to an article appearing in an Old School paper.

SOT: BAPTISTS, CREEDS & CONFESSIONS OF FAITH 2...

BROTHER BEEBE: – A word by the way of Postscript to my last, for I forgot to note the origin of “Creed’s &c.”

SOT: KNOWING IN PART...

Harrisburg, IN, January 31, 1850.

Brother Beebe: – Having a remittance to make, I will write a few thoughts on 1 Corinthians 13:8-13.

Brother Beebe: - I some time since received a letter signed S., N.Y., requesting my views on the important enquiry, How far communion with God may be expected to be enjoyed by christians in this day.
