This sermon delves into the complexities of Calvinism, exploring the doctrines of Limited Atonement, Irresistible Grace, and Perseverance of the Saints. It questions the idea of Christ's blood being wasted if not all are saved, the concept of irresistible grace, and the assurance of salvation for the elect. The sermon challenges the interpretation of scripture within the framework of Calvinism and its historical roots in Augustine's teachings.

In this sermon, the speaker shares two powerful stories of individuals who dedicated their lives to spreading the Gospel. The first story is about John Harper, a man who selflessly gave up his own life to save others during the sinking of the Titanic. Harper led a young man to Christ before succumbing to the cold waters, leaving behind a powerful message of salvation. The second story is about David Livingston, a missionary who traveled extensively in Africa, proclaiming the Gospel despite physical hardships and eventually passing away while praying. Both stories highlight the commitment and sacrifice of these individuals in sharing the message of Jesus Christ.

John Gill emphasizes that baptism is a public ordinance of divine worship, distinct from church ordinances, and is essential for admission into the church. He argues that baptism is a standing ordinance of the New Testament, instituted by God, and should be administered to those who have repented and believed in Christ. Gill refutes the practice of infant baptism, asserting that only those who are enlightened, penitent, and have faith in Christ are proper subjects for baptism. He highlights the importance of immersion as the correct mode of baptism, aligning it with the practices of John the Baptist and the apostles. Ultimately, Gill calls for a return to the biblical understanding and practice of baptism as a significant act of obedience and public declaration of faith.
