BAPTISxM SYMBOLIZES DEATH TO SIN. "Even so reckon ye also yourselves to be Dead unto sin." Rom. 6: 11 "We were buried therefore with Him through baptism into Death.** Rom. 6: 4. 2. BAPTISM SYMBOLIZES BURIAL WITH CHRIST. "Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death. We were BUPied with H.m therefore through baptism." Rom. 6: 3, 4. "Having been BUPied with Him in baptism." Colossians2: 12. 3. BAPTISM SYMBOLIZES RESURRECTION WITH CHRIST TO THE NEW LIFE. "Having been buried with Him in baptism, wherein ye were also FliKDKinCTOK liAPTIST Cl/mcif 7 Raised With Him through faith ill the wc.ikiiig (»f (Joil, who Raised him from the deivd."

IJAPTISM DOES NOT WASH AWAV SFN. "Which also after a true likeness doth now save you, even Imptism, Not the Puttingr Away of the Filth of the Flesh, hut tht; interrogation of a good conscienee toward (!od, t'lrougii the resurrection of desus Christ." lat Peter 3: "21. r>.

IN BAPTISM, THOSE BAPTIZED DECLARE THAT THEY HAVE CHOSEN CHRIST AS THEIR LEADER-THE CAP- TAIN OF THEIR SALVATION. "Our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed tlirough the sea; and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea." Ist. Cor. 10: 2. "For as many of you as were baptized into Christ did Put Ori Christ.'* fialatians 3: 27. 7. BELIEVERS 1 THEIR BAPTISM PUBLICLY PROFESS THEIR FAITH IN CHRIST.

"And Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed and were bap- tized." Acts 18: 8. 8.

But Jesus answering said unto « FllEDEHUJTON HAPTIST CUUliCIT c^ummary of IJa^jtiet 5?oftriuc0. I.

Aceor.ling to the example of the early Christians and of the church in all ages, the Hrst clay of the week is to be observed as the Lord's Day or (^hristian Sabbath, on which -lay, m.l at other convenient times, (.o.l s people should assemble for i)ublic and .social wor.ship. L\. There will be a resurrection of the dead, botli of the just and tho nnju.st, when the Lord Jesus Christ shall con.e to judge the worM in righteousness.

W e give up ourselves to the Lord Jesus Christ, an.l engage to ad- Jiere to Ilim as the head of His people in the covenant of gr.- e, and rely on Him as our Prophet, Priest and King, to bring us to eternal blesse.l- iiess. \ye acknowlclge our everlasting and indispensable obligations to glorify <io.l, by living a holy, righteous an<l godly life in this present world, in all our .several places a^.l relations; and we engage, by the a-ssistanec of the Divine Spirit, to improve our time, strength, talents and advantages to His glory and the good of our fellow men; promising, l,y Divine help, to walk as becomes those professing godliness, to maintain the worship of (iod m our families, and to train up those under our care ir. the ways of religion and virtue. We also give up ourselves to one another in covenant, promising to act towards each other as brethren in Christ, M'atching over one another in the love of (iod, reproving, rebuking and admonishing one another for good as occasion may require. If we at any time know that any members of the church are guilty of immoral conduct, we will not expose it by telling 10 FBEDEIUGTON BAPTIST CHURCH it to others; and if we liave any personal difficulty with our brethren, we will not cherish enmity or speak of our grievances to others, but will faith- fully labor with them, according to the direction of our Lord, that sin may be put away from among us, and that iniquity may not be harbored hi the church. We engage to watch not only against the most gross sins, but also against all foolish talking and jesting, which are not convenient, vain disputing about words and things which gender strife, disregard of prom- ises and engagements, tattling and backbiting, spending time idl^orat improper places, and whatsoever else is contrary to sound doctrine. We promise to hold com.nunion together in the worship of God, and in the ordinctnces and discipline of His church, according as we shall be or are guided by the Spirit of God in His word,— expecting that He will yet further and more gloriously open His word and the mysteries of His king- dom,— applying to the blood of the everlasting covenant for the pardon of our many errors, and praying tha^ the Lord may prepare and strengthen us for every good work to do His will, working in us that which is well pleas- ing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for and ever.
