In
this classic treatise on communion, Howell sets forth his thesis with
the boldness characteristic of martyred Anabaptists of whose doctrine
he was espousing. His Scriptural position, clearly expressed, is that
the terms of communion are repentance, faith and baptism. Immediately,
this demonstrates that Pedobaptists have deviated from the truth and
are not qualified subjects for the Lord's Table. According to Howell,
the Pedobaptists have severed themselves form the truth, and therefore
they are schismatics because of their false doctrine. Howell charges
that Baptists must separate from Pedobaptists over the doctrines of
believer's baptism and close communion.
The Terms of Communion at the Lord's Table is a refreshing and powerful
apologetic for Baptist truth in a day of insipid and anemic Baptist
teaching. Every Baptist who values the Lord's teaching for His Table
needs this volume by Howell. |
