Two Letters, With A Postscript, Addresses To The Rev. E. Henderson. On The Relation Of Baptism To Christian Missions by George Newbury. This work presents a pair of letters and a postscript in which Newbury, an independent minister from Burnham, Bucks, argues that Christian baptism was originally designed as God's gracious and confirming seal to his truth and as an introductory means of bringing believers under ministerial instruction for regeneration and spiritual growth. He contends that baptism should align with apostolic practice by uniting with the initial proclamation of the gospel, rather than being delayed until a lengthy evidence of conversion is demonstrated. The author surveys the similarities and differences between baptism and the Lord's Supper, insisting that baptism be administered as a seal to the truth and as a public entry into the church, with the Lord's Supper reserved for believers who have shown steadfast faith. The Postscript extends these reflections to the planting of churches and the spread of the gospel, urging missionary work to be guided by scriptural principles. The overall aim is to promote unity and doctrinal clarity in missionary contexts, particularly under the London Missionary Society.
