Comment on Alternative Phrase for Infants by Charles
https://rtbp.wordpress.com/2018/01/23/alternative-phrase-for-infants/#comment-2489
Sat, 03 Jul 2021 14:47:06 +0000https://rtbp.wordpress.com/?p=972#comment-2489If either Wesley or the compilers of the American book knew of Spottiswood’s proposed alterantions, then perhaps this is indeed the provence. Anyway, here is a snippet from Hobart’s Sermon on Confirmation where he makes the distinction between regeneration (favor) vs. renovation (perhaps an example of what was commonly known by Anglican clergy, at least Laudian era ones?):
“But neither did the Apostles, nor does our Church, consider baptismal regeneration as availing to final salvation without the renewing of the Holy Ghost. The Apostles, in their epistles, consider Christians as elected, into a state of salvation, and then exhort them to make their calling and election sure”. “Ye are washed, ye are justified, ye are sanctified”, is their language to whole bodies of Christians. They are thus considered as “justified” in baptism, that is, put into a state of conditional favour with God; and are then exhorted to walk worthy of their holy vocation … Thus sanctioned by scriptural authority, our Church distinguishes between Regeneration, or the change of our spiritual state; and Renovation, or the change of heart and life”

Comment on M. F. Sadler on baptismal regeneration; part 1 by Brian Harrington
https://rtbp.wordpress.com/2010/06/12/m-f-sadler-on-baptismal-regeneration-part-1/#comment-1759
Sun, 04 Feb 2018 01:28:27 +0000https://rtbp.wordpress.com/?p=366#comment-1759Gary’s post, whatever else may be said about it, is not at all consistent with Sadler’s conception of baptismal grace. Both in The Second and the New Birth, as well as the (free, via Google library!) treatise “The Sacrament of Responsibility” Sadler argues that all infants, baptized in infancy, as well as repentant and believing adult Christians baptized at that point, are regenerated. In Sadler’s understanding, such realities as “regeneration” or “election” are covenantal terms and therefore understood in what he repeatedly refers to as the “historical form of the Gospel” (what we’d call today “biblical theology” or “salvation history” ). This means that he does not (positively does NOT) hang the efficacy of baptism on some supposed, hidden decree of election. With countless other Anglicans, such as Browne (who wrote a definitive work on the 39 Articles in the late 1800’s) Sadler believes true grace is received in baptism, but that such grace must be improved upon, stirred up, etc. He points out in his commentaries on the Pauline epistles (in support of this very high view of baptism) that when people are addressed who are turning from the faith, or who have already renounced it, never once does Paul imply that grace was neve received, but rather, that grace has been received, then rejected (“You have fallen from grace” – to the Galatians, or “You’ve been washed, justified, sanctified” to the Corinthians, many of whom were going off the reservation.
NOTE: This post is intended to represent Sadler’s position, as i have read every one of his writings except one. I offer no commentary here as to its validity or lack thereof.
