PROOF that this is Antinomian Doctrine. ALTHOUGH it be quite needlefs to at tempt proving this, fince it is from this Tenet that the Name Antinomian was given to this Sect; yet, to fatisfy the Reader, I fhall give the following Quotations from the Short Stor. Pref. Page.2. to wit, "That "the Law, and the preaching of it is of "no Ufe at all, to drive a Man unto "Chrift. All Covenants to God expreffed in Words are legal Works. A Chriftian " is not bound to the Law as a Rule of his "Converfation." Page 3.See Hornius, Page 613. and Dr. Crifp. REFUTATION. As this is one of the Moravian or Antinomia (for it is clear they are the fame) principal Errors, I treated of it in feveral Parts of this Tract to give the clearer Satisfaction; and efpecially in the First Section, to which I refer the Reader. But befides any Thing there fayed, we find this Tenet to be contrary to Rom, xvi. 26. where it is fayed that the Mystery of the Gofpel is revealed for the the Obedience of Faith. Likewife Heb. v. 9. where the Lord Jefus is fayed to be the Author of Salvation to all that obey him. It is alfo contrary to John xiv. 29. ERROR VII. All Holiness and Graces inbere in Christ as the Subject, and are only imputed to us when we are juftified; therefore that no Holinefs or Grace is really in us, or our own. PROOF that this is Moravian Doctrine. Mr. Sennick adds, by Way of Appendix to the Collection of Hymns publifhed by him, a Letter written by one of the Brethren from Wales, to the Society at the Tabernacle in London; and which he recommends to the ferious Confideration of all Chriftians. And in Pages 2, 3. of that Letter are thefe Words: You fhall not want Righteouf"nefs or Holiness, Wisdom or Strength, "Grace or Growth of Grace, Love or Humility, Fruitfulness or Faithfulness, Light or Life, Purity or Meekness, or any Thing that is in CHRIST.-When he faw "that if your Salvation fhould depend on "your own Faithfulness, all his Work "fhould be loft on you, he then undertook "to keep you by his own Power through. འ་ "Faith, “Faith, * and took on his own Faithfulness: "So that because be changes not, none "fhall pluck you out of his Hands."Here is excellent Doctrine! Now take a Sample of Mr. Sennick's own Words. "That he might make me righteous, he fulfill'd "The Law of Mofes, and he it repeal'd, "Nor hence can the Curfes, or Condemnation, "Hurt me, for I am just by Imputation. "He is my Holiness: I want no other." Page 50. Thefe are glorious Reformers! Meffrs. Wesley's Short View, Page 13. in giving their mean Errors, afcribes this one to them, 1 in * You fee that the Nature of their Faith confists in believing that your Sins are already pardon'd, and that you have No Faith or Grace really in yourself, but that it is in Chrift, and imputed to you. Therefore Moravian Faith is believing that you have no Faith. Yet they preach up a Perfe&ion equal to that of Angels; but it is founded on this erroneous and dangerous Principle, to wit, That after they receive their chimerical inftantaneous GIFT and AsSURANCE, they can never after fin. For although they should commit the Facts, that are efteemed by the World to be immoral and finful, yet it is no Sin in them, nor will the Lord look on it as Sin; for that he fees no Sin in Believers. The Count fays, Page 192. I am now affured, that I have now the fame unchangeable Right with all my Fel• low-citizens (meaning the Angels and Saints in Blifs) “to be as uninterruptedly holy as they.". in thefe Words :-" That a Believer is never fanctified or holy in himself, but in Christ only; he has no Holiness in himself "at all, all his Holinefs being imputed, not "inberent." I could give an almost numberlefs Proofs of this Error, for they dwell on it. And we find (as already spoken of in this Tract) that to evade the Name Antinomian, the Moravian tells Mr. John Wesley that he muft call him a Preacher of God's Righteoufnefs, and that Mr. Wesley was a Preacher of inherent Righteoufnefs. PROOF that this is Antinomian Doctrine. "THERE is no inherent Righteousness in "the Saints, or Grace; and Graces are not "in the Souls of Believers, but in Chrift onદર ly. Short Story Page 13. Fideles non "habere inhærentem fanctificationem, nec ¢ fpirituales habitus gratiæ infufos in corda 33 corum, fed omnem fanctificationem 66 eorum, effe inhærentem in Chrifto. "Horn. p. 6, 13. The faithful have no inherent Holiness, nor fpiritual Difpo"fitions of Grace pou'd into their Hearts; "but all their Holiness is inherently in Chrift.". REFUTATION.. THIS is contrary to Ephefians, 4, 24. where it fays, that he that hath Righteoufnefs and true Holinefs hath learned the Truth |
