A Manifesto of
Trinity Baptist Church
Albert N. Martin
 
 
Preached upon the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Trinity Baptist Church, this series “ . . is not a comprehensive statement of our major doctrines (which are set out in our Confession) or Church polity (which is set out in our Constitution), but those Biblical perspectives which we believe are absolutely essential to our remaining a true church of Christ.” The purpose is “to lay bare the foundational issues which have shaped our first 25 years together, and then to issue a fresh summons of commitment to the Lord Jesus himself and to these principles insofar as they are Biblical, that we might preserve and pass them on to the rising generations.”

These two SS lessons address the third of these "Three Crucial Questions")
