About This Book

A minister publishes a public letter defending his ministry from accusations of antinomianism, causing divisions, and failing to preach to sinners, and then presents a concise confession of evangelical doctrine. He affirms Scripture as the sole rule of faith and outlines beliefs in the Trinity, divine election and predestination, human depravity and original sin, Christ as mediator, justification by imputed righteousness, efficacious grace in regeneration, final perseverance, the resurrection, final judgment, and eternal destinies. The document blends personal defense with pastoral exposition, arguing that these doctrines bring assurance and promote true godliness despite opposition from legalistic critics.
