Spurgeon felt strongly against the doctrine that the baptism of an adult or infant can save a soul. The doctrine was found in the "Book of Common Prayer" and was practiced by the Church of England. He warned that the idea was misleading and people might go to hell because of it. Spurgeon presented certain facts which disputed the doctrine. He also outlined the correct doctrine of faith in Jesus Christ for salvation. Spurgeon called for the fiery vehemence of a John Knox or a Martin Luther to "rouse our hearts to action." The sermon was updated to modern language.

This 238-page book is a collection of Spurgeon's sermons (unabridged and modernized English) that cover all "five points" of the Doctrines of Grace. They were carefully selected to present Spurgeon's teaching accurately and succinctly so there won't be any misunderstanding or misrepresenting. We are deeply indebted to Larry Pierce (the developer of the classic Bible software program, The Online Bible) and his wife Marion for their diligent labor in modernizing Spurgeon's sermons, a task they began in 2008 and plan to complete in 2018. They graciously granted permission to use these modernized...

Spurgeon examines the nature of "free will," and uses the text John 5:40, "You will not come to me, that you might have life." He observes: "The will is well known by all to be directed by the understanding, to be moved by motives, to be guided by other parts of the soul, and to be a secondary thing." He puts forth the Calvinist doctrine that a person cannot come to Christ by their own means, but Christ must come to the person. He expounds on the nature of legal, spiritual and eternal deadness and how people are unable to overcome this by themselves. He then goes on to describe legal,...

This sermon grew out of John 20:15: "Supposing him to be the gardener." Spurgeon used an extensive well-tended garden as a setting for this discourse, probably Dr. Bennet's large garden in Mentone, which Spurgeon frequently visited. When Jesus Christ is the gardener of creation it leads to many inferences: it spurs people to their duties, it relieves people from responsibilities they should never assume, it delivers people from fears, it is a warning for the careless, it is a calming influence to those who complain and lastly it is an outlook full of hope. Spurgeon said he is "hoping that I...

Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892) was an English pastor who was known in his own day as, "The Prince of Preachers." Spurgeon gives his own reason and summation of this book as follows... "The paragraphs of this little book are not supposed to be an argument. It was not my aim to convince an opponent, but to assist a friend. How I have personally threaded the labyrinth of life thus far, may be of helpful interest to some other soul which just now is in a maze. I hope that by these pages some true heart may be assisted to "fight his doubts and gather strength." Let no man's heart fail him, for the...

The subject of this of this volume is a matter of controversy as to details; but as an old divine once said, though our watches do not agree regarding the exact time of our Lord's return, most Christians agree regarding the fact. It is hoped that the reader may be led into fullness of truth by the prayerful study of the pages that follow.
