8. It is Christ's stated Constitution, that [he that believeth, and is baptized, shall be saved, and be that believeth not shall be damned, Mar. 16. 16. That if thou confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved: for with the heart man believeth (Christ's resurrection) unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto Salvation, Rom, 10. That except you repent you shall all perish, Luke 13. 3, 5. That men must repent, and be baptized, for the remission of sins, Acts 2. 38. And repent and be converted, ⟨image 20⟩that their sins may be blotted out, Acts 3. 19. So, Rev. 22. 14. Matt. 6. 14, 15. Ezek. 33. 14, 16. 1 Tim. 4. 8. Godliness is profitable to all things, having the promise of the Life that now is, and of that which is to come.] Call these Laws, or Covenants, or what you will, we are agreed that all this is the word of God.
9. These terms of life and death are the rule of our practices, and our expectations, by which we must live, and by which we shall be judged: and therefore we may truly say that they are Christ's Law. And they are God's signified determination of the conditions of life and death, and his donation of our right to Christ, Pardon and Life, is contained herein; and therefore this may truly be called Christ's Testament and Covenant, in several respects.
