Welcome to the OldPaths!

Baptist is a term describing individuals belonging to a Baptist church or a Baptist Protestant denomination: our Faith in God's; promise in His HOLY SCRIPTURE of Salvation. The Law's of God are to be obeyed to the letter. Judgement awaits all who break them. Jesus spoke these words of comfort: "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28. There is Judgement to come for mankind, Seeking Jesus' promise of perfect rest through His Death, Burial and Resurrection, by shedding His (life's) blood on the cross, at the Jewish Passover.

The judgement passes by when the Angel of death came by, see the Old Testament: Exodus 11 and Exodus 12 (Christ being the first born of God) Passover.

If you want to start now, get to know the Son of Man by reading John's Gospel, the 4th book in the New Testament. Jesus was crucified Calvary's mount. He took upon Himself the judgement for the sins of Adam's race. It is where sins are washed away, through Jesus' precious blood. By seeking and searching your own heart, where sin has had its way for so long. By searching the Scriptures and by Repentance. These word's from Heaven come "I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance." Luke 15:7.

Anyone who makes a serious and substantial contribution to the understanding of the New Testament, renders a public service, for if religion is the foundation of morality, by the knowledge of God is the welfare of the people. As a book the New Testament stands alone and supreme, simple in its profoundness, and profound in its simplicity.

The Ten Commandments

"Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 5:19 KJV.

"For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." Hebrews 4:12 KJV.

"There never was a man in the world without a creed. What is a creed? A creed is what you believe. What is a confession? It is a declaration of what you believe. That declaration may be oral or it may be committed to writing, but the creed is there either expressed or implied." - B. H. Carroll.

Joseph Alleine (1634-1668)

Born at Devizes, Wiltshire, early in 1634, Joseph Alleine loved and served the Lord from childhood. A contemporary witness identified 1645 as the year of Alleine’s “setting forth in the Christian race.” From eleven years of age onward, “the whole course of his youth was an even-spun thread of godly conversation.” When his elder brother Edward....read more.

Alarm to the Unconverted
by Joseph Alleine (1634-1668)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The devil has made many counterfeits of conversion, and cheats one with this, and another with that. He has such craft and artifice in his mystery of deceits that, if it were possible, he would deceive the very elect. Now, that I may cure the ruinous mistake of some who think they are converted when they are not, as well as remove the troubles and fears of others who think they are not converted when they are, I shall show you the nature of conversion, both what it is not, and what it is. We will begin with the negative. What conversion is NOT.....read more.

The Nicene Creed (7th Century AD)

I BELIEVE in GOD the FATHER ALMIGHTY, Maker of heaven and earth: And in JESUS CHRIST his only begotten SON, our LORD; who was conceived by the HOLY SPIRIT, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sits on the right hand of GOD the FATHER ALMIGHTY; from there he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the HOLY SPIRIT; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen

THE HOLY SCRIPTURES

The Holy Scriptures is a collection of books that are Metaphors, Similes, Symbols, Types, Parables, Allegories, and Emblems.

Metaphors: is a figure of speech, in which one object is made to stand for another. (When we say Christ is led like a lamb to the slaughter, it is a simile; but when He is called "The Lamb of God," it is a metaphor). A simile is figurative  language descriptive of one object in its likeness to another: "As cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country" (Proverbs 25:25), is a simile. A symbol is something which stands for something else, thus in Christendom the cross is a symbol of Christ's suffering, the hand is a symbol of God's power, and the Dove the symbol of the H OLY SPIRIT. A type is a object which is used to prefigure another object, thus the lifting up of the brazen servant in the wilderness was a type of Christ's death on the cross, (John 3:14). A parable is a truth illustrated by fact, as the girl said, "It is an earthly story with a heavenly meaning," like the seven parables of (Matthew 13). An allegory is a story which represents a fact, or illustrates a thing in a parabolical language, as Jotham's story of the trees did the action of Abimelech, (Judges 9:1-21); and an emblem is a figurative representation of anything, such as the sceptre is an emblem of sovereign power.

The above paragraph is extracted from the "Emblems of the Holy Spirit" by F. E. Marsh
