APOLOGY AGAINST THIRTY-ONE THEOLOGICAL ARTICLES, 1-79
10.-It cannot be proved from Scripture, that believers under the Old Testa-
ment, before the Ascension of Christ, were in Heaven
1
11. It is a matter of doubt, whether believers under the Old Testament under-
stood that the legal ceremonies were types of Christ and of his benefits..
12. Christ has died for all men and for every individual.......
13 & 14. Original Sin will condemn no man. In every nation, all infants who
die without [having committed] actual sins, are saved

15. If the Heathen, and those who are strangers to the true knowledge of God,
do those things which by the powers of nature they are enabled to do,
God will not condern them, but will reward these their works by a more
enlarged knowledge by which they may be brought to salvation
......
16. The works of the unregenerate can be pleasing to God, and are (according
to BORRIUS) the occasion, and (according to ARMINIUS) the impulsive
cause, by which God will be moved to communicate to them his saving
grace..
17.-God will not deny his grace to any one who does what is in him....
18.-God undoubtedly converts, without the external preaching of the Gospel,
great numbers of persons to the saving knowledge of Christ, among those
[ubi est] who have no outward preaching; and He effects such conver-
sions either by the inward revelation of the Holy Spirit, or by the minis-
try of angels. (BORRIUS & ARMINIUS.).....
..
19.-Before his fall, Adam had not the power to believe, because there was no
necessity for faith; God, therefore, could not require faith from him
after the fall....
20.-It cannot possibly be proved from the Sacred Writings, that the angels are
now confirmed in their estate...

21. (I.)-It is a new, heretical and Sabellian mode of speaking, nay it is blas-
phemous, to say "that the Son of God is αυτοθεον, (very God,)" for
the Father alone is very God, but not the Son and the Holy Spirit.... 29
33
22. (II.)-It is the summit of blasphemy to say, that God is freely good
23. (III.)-It frequently happens, that a creature who is not entirely hardened
in evil, is unwilling to perform an action because it is joined with sin;
unless when certain arguments and occasions are presented to him which
act as incitements to its commission. [Administratio] The management
of this presentation also is in the hand of the Providence of God, who
presents these incitements that He may accomplish his own work by the
act of the creature
24. (IV.)-The Righteousness of Christ is not imputed to us for Righteousness;
but to believe [or the act of believing] justifies us

25. (V.)-The whole of that in which we appear before God, jus
we appear before God, not only by Faith, but also by Wo
FORE, we are justified before God, not only by Faith, b
Works
26. (VI.)-Faith is not the instrument of Justification....
27. (VII.)-Faith is not the pure gift of God, but depends part
of God, and partly on the powers of Free Will; that, if
may believe or not believe
28. (VIII.)-The grace sufficient for salvation is conferred on the
the Non-Elect; that, if they will, they may believe or no
be saved or not saved
sin..
29. (IX.)-Believers can perfectly fulfil the Law, and live in the

Christianity
31. (XI.)-It is not correctly said in the Catechism, that "God
us for [innata] birth-sins;" because original sin is a puni
whatever is a punishment is not properly a sin
