104 3 BIERTON PARTICULAR BAPTISTS ARTICLES OF RELIGION, 1831 Church and the closure of the chapel. After which I sought fellowship with like-minded believers of a Gospel Standard Church only to find that I was not accepted. This was due to the fact that had expressed my understanding of the Law of Moses and its rule to a certain minister and Pastor of another Strict Baptist church This was in the south of England. He told me that I would not be accepted into membership of any Gospel Standard Church holding those views I had expressed regarding the Sabbath594. I had expressed to him that his views relating to the Law of Moses would lead to a problem with the Sabbath595. I sought to be of assistance to him, as he would certainly find his belief and practice of the Law of Moses a stumbling block to himself and also to others, I wanted him to be honest with him self. He informed me, in agitated tones, that my views would exclude me from membership of any Gospel Standard cause. Unnamed Minister Reply 2nd December 2003 Dear David, It is not my custom to answer letters of this nature. However, I have been persuaded by many friends to make this brief reply. I am thankful to be the recipient of your letter and not the writer. David, the views that you hold on the Law and the Lord’s Day are wholly wrong and derogatory to the person and work of Christ. I can assure you that neither the church at B, nor the church at HE (of which I am a trustee), nor P, SS or hold your errors, and would never receive into church membership those that hold such notions. Furthermore, there is not one church on the Gospel Standard list that holds your views or would receive into church membership any that believed such none scriptural notions. I have learned the hard way, David, never to enter into endless questions of this nature and soul destroying controversy that brings nothing but pain to the brethren and disturbs the peace of the churches, “But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ” (1 Corinthians 8:12). “But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and striving about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain (Titus 3:9). May God grant you light from his Word to turn from your errors? Please respect my wish not to publish my letter in any of your books. Yours sincerely: Un named Minister. 594 Bierton Particular Baptists Pakistan 2016 article Article 26.
