- Communion, Close, or Restricted. [CHM note:

--That the
ordinances of the Lord's house are for His own
children;
there must be some restriction; And when we
examine the Word of God we find believer's bap-
tism always preceding every other Christian duty
and privilege. When the Saviour gives His com-
mission He orders His apostles to "teach [make
disciples of] all nations, baptizing them in the name
of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things what-
soever I have commanded you:"--Matt. 28:[19], 20.
After faith comes baptism, then other duties and
privileges. .... --Acts 2:41, 42. These three thousand
after believing, the rite of bap-
tism is immediately administered; then they are
formally added to the church, and continue stead-
fastly in the apostles' doctrine (teaching) and
fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in
prayers.
In the book of Acts throughout, baptism follows pro-
fessed faith immediately and invariably. And as
the cases are very numerous, and as the adminis-
trators of the baptism were generally inspired men,
they prove that immersion should precede the Sup-
per and all other Christian duties and privileges.

Baptists have always gloried that the Bible was
their creed, and at the same time for centuries they
have had published Confessions of Faith. In our
den. these articles of belief have always
occupied a subordinate position; they are never
placed on a level with the Scriptures, much less
above them. They are used to protect our unity,
to preserve our peace, and to instruct our members.
