Quest. 15. Whether besides the Profession of Christianity, either Testimony or Evidence of Conversion, or Practical Godliness be necessary to prove a man a Member of the Universal Visible Church?
1. AS the Mediator is the way to the Father, sent to recover us to God, so Christianity includeth1 Godliness; And he professeth not Christianity who professeth not Godliness.
- 1John 14. 6. 1 Tim. 3. 16. & 6▪ 3, 11.
2. He that professeth the Baptismal Covenant, professeth Christianity and Godliness, and true Conversion.1 And therefore cannot be rejected for want of a Profession of Conversion or Godliness.
