Men sopinions on matters that are non-essential are as various as tlieir characters. Thus, subjects which appear to one mind self-evident and of indispensable importance appear to another surrounded with insuperable difficulties and of minor importance. Reasoning regarded by one mind as conclusive and irresistible is considered by another as defective, inconsistent, and unsatisfactory. Nevertheless, there are certain fundamental doctrines on which all evangelical churches agree; and any one who should deny these would be deemed by common consent an infidel or a heretic. The Baptists differ from other evangelical churches mainly on matters merely non-essential, and, as will be found in this treatise, concede to them all that is truly essential to salvation. They assume that baptism is indispensably prerequisite to sacramental communion, and that immersion is essential to baptism.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the arguments for and against the practice of open communion in the Christian church. The author, a strong advocate for Open Communion, argues that despite differing views on non-essential matters, the spiritual unity of the church should override concerns over baptism. The book examines the concept of a common faith and brotherly love as the basis for Christian unity, arguing that these principles should extend to the Lord's Supper. Through a careful analysis of scripture and historical context, the author challenges the traditional view that baptism is an indispensable prerequisite for communion, highlighting the lack of clear scriptural support for this notion. By exploring the nature and purpose of the sacraments, the author demonstrates that sacramental communion should be extended to all true believers, regardless of their mode of baptism. This book is a valuable resource for fostering a deeper understanding of the principles of Christian unity and the significance of Open Communion in promoting a more inclusive and welcoming church.
