A. Though the means of Salvation prove effectual to all Gods Elect, yet they are so to no others, Acts 28.23, 24. And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging, to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets from morning till evening. And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not.

And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging, to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, perswading them concerning Iesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets from morning till evening.

Q. 8. Do not the Sacraments save all that partake of them?
A. No, they do not; Baptism may pass on a cast-away, Acts 8.23. For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity. And the Lords Supper may be received unworthily, 1 Cor. 11.27. Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
