Having been led, as we believe,
by the spirit of God, to receive the Lord Jesus
Christ as our Savior, and on the profession of our
faith, having been baptized in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, we do now,
in the presence of God, angels, and this assembly,
most solemnly and joyfully enter into covenant with
one another, as one body in Christ.
We engage, therefore, by the aid of the Holy Spirit,
to walk together in Christian love; to strive for
the advancement of this church, in knowledge, holiness,
and comfort; to promote its prosperity and spirituality;
to sustain its worship, ordinance, discipline, and
doctrines; to contribute cheerfully and regularly
to the support of the ministry, the expenses of
this church, the relief of the poor, and the spread
of the gospel through all nations.
We also engage to maintain family and secret devotions;
to religiously educate our children; to seek the
salvation of our kindred and acquaintances to walk
circumspectly in the world; to be just in our dealings,
faithful in our engagements, and abstain from the
sale and use of intoxicating drink as a beverage,
and to be zealous in our efforts to advance the
kingdom of our Saviour.
We further engage to watch over one another in brotherly
love; to remember each other in prayer; to aid each
other in sickness and distress; to cultivate Christian
sympathy in feeling and courtesy in speech; to be
slow to take offense, but always ready for reconciliation,
and mindful of the rules of our Saviour, to secure
it without delay.
We moreover engage that when we remove from this
place, we will, as soon as possible, unite with
some other church where we can carry out the spirit
of this covenant and the principles of God's Word.
And now unto Him, who brought again from the dead,
our Lord Jesus, be Power and Glory forever. Amen. |
