_THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH._ SECTION LXXXIV. _The Ritual Law is unrepealed._—Christ so left it. The apostles were zealous for it. The council of Jerusalem exempted the Gentiles only. James and Paul unite to show it still in force. Paul’s practice. He obeyed the law, but repudiated its righteousness. This view alone harmonizes the history, 393 SECTION LXXXV. _Why the Gentiles were exempted._—Not because the law expired. But, unsuited to a world wide extension. Its chief end accomplished. What its survival implied, 406 SECTION LXXXVI. _The Christian Passover._—Wine, and blood. The passover a type of Christ’s atonement. It is perpetuated in the Supper, 408 SECTION LXXXVII. _The Hebrew Christian Church._—The synagogue system. The sects of Pharisees, Sadducees and Nazarenes. The number and diffusion of the Nazarenes. The Hebrew church after the destruction of Jerusalem, 411 SECTION LXXXVIII. _The Gentiles Graffed in._—Mixed churches.

Faith is the essential thing, 437 SECTION XCII. _The Formula._—Ritualistic view. No formula prescribed by Christ, nor used by the apostles, 438 SECTION XCIII. _The Administration on Pentecost._—There was a baptism with water. Dr. Dale’s objections, 440 SECTION XCIV. _The meaning of this Baptism._—It could but symbolize the baptism of the Spirit. The two formulas thus reconciled, 446 SECTION XCV. _The Mode of this Baptism._—Immersion incongruous and impossible. They were baptized in groups with a hyssop bush, 448 SECTION XCVI. _Other Illustrations._—The eunuch. The apostle Paul. The house of Cornelius. The jailer. None of these look to immersion, 451
