They believe God to be the Father of mankind, hence all are his children, and that neither life nor death, time nor eternity, can sever that relation. 3. They believe God is good, merciful, just to all, and ever will be. 4. They believe God is the Governor of the universe, and that all men are amenable to his law; if they do well they are rewarded, if ill, punished, but that he will not torment eternally for the sins of this brief life. 5. They believe salvation is through faith and works-not Jewish works of the law, but Christian works. 6. They believe salvation is from sin, corruption and spiritual deathnot from an endless hell, or the wrath of God, who is love. 7. ...y believe men should love God because he loves them; be truthful from the love of truth; just and honest from the love of justice and honesty-not from fear of eternal woe. 8. They believe God will have all men to be saved, and being unchangeable that ever will be his will, hence will not shut up millions in hell forever God must change first, but that is impossible. 9. They believe the Bible contains a record of God's revelation to man-not that every word of it is a revelation. 10. They also believe God is now revealing himself through man, and through all nature. II. They belie Jesus is the Son of God and Savior of the world; the he was God manifested in the flesh, and is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. now lives in returns to dust, he returns to God. Returning to dust is death; returning to God is the resurrection. Earth claims its own; heaven claims its own. 13. They believe that in heaven there are " and many mansions, that each goes to his own place. As the sun, moon and stars differ in glory, so with mankind in the "many mansions," and that these differences there result from the life lived here. 14. They believe that this view of the results of our earth-life tends to make men live righteously, godly, divinely. 15. They believe men are depraved by practice, not by nature, and there is good in all. 16. They believe that finally, depravity will yield to purity, sin to holiness, error to truth, damnation to salvation, death to life, hell to heaven, and God will be all in all. Amen. 17. They believe men are now and ever will be free agents. 18. They believe God calls on all now, and ever will call on all, to come up higher, higher, higher, and that all should strive to think higher, act higher, live higher-be Christ-like in spirit and character. 19. They believe all will finally heed the divine mandate, and walk in the ways of salvation. 20. They elieve all should be Christians every day of the week, and in all the vocations and relations of Christian fathers, mothers, husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, neighbors, citizens-Christian preachers, lawyers, doctor, merchants, mechanics, farmers, etc. This is the sum and substance of their FAITH; and is it not Christian, reasonable, philosophical? Study it, believe it, practice it, and God will bless you now and forever. |
