The Almost Christian Discovered by Matthew Mead Pdf

Matthew Mead guides Christians who wish to know whether they have taken the spiritual and emotional steps necessary to attain conversion to the faith. Mead takes a multi-faceted approach to conversion; the journey of Christians varies in length, some must walk far and do much to enter the faith. Many must try for successive years, held back by personal circumstances or persistent shortfalls of character. What keeps a person 'almost Christian' is discussed at length, with examples given of those who frequently come close, but do not quite make it and become true believers in the Lord. The central pillar of Christian belief is the admission that Christ is the keystone to all salvation; there can be no half-measures in this. Another common pitfall is refusing to accept aspects of Christ's divinity, or his prophecies or his being the Son of God. Refusing to give up a sin, be it one of pride, lust or weak will, is another trait that keeps a believer 'almost Christian'. Writing in the mid-17th century, Mead was part of the Puritan movement, working as an educator and lecturer on religious topics. He worked at multiple churches in England and in Holland, and was affiliated to the east London borough of Stepney for most of his life.

The Almost Christian Discovered by Matthew Mead Pdf

Excerpt from The Almost Christian Discovered: Or the False Professor Tried and Cast It can scarce be needed, for most of the readers into whose hands this volume may come, to commend a writer so well known as the Nonconformist worthy, Matthew Mead, or to bespeak respectful and devout perusal for a book, so long and widely circulated, and so greatly useful, as has been his treatise, "The Almost Christian." He was of the times of Owen, Bunyan, and Baxter. How high a place the man and his writings occupied, in the esteem of the eminent author of the "Call to the Unconverted," and of the "Saints' Best," a single reference may sufficiently prove. In the great work of Richard Baxter, on the morals and casuistry of the gospel, his "Christian Directory," he furnishes lists of volumes suitable to form the library of a Christian.

Not illustrated. 1788 edition. Excerpt: ... grace of God) he was become a preacher of' the gofpel, now the Jews hate him, and sought to kill him, verse 21. He was once against Christ, and then manywere for him; but now that he was for Christ, all were against him; his being an enemy to Jesus, made others his friends; but when he came to own Jesus, then they became his enemies. And this was the great charge they had against him, that of a great opposer, he wasbecome a great prosessor. Because God had changed him, therefore this enraged them; as if they would be the worse because God had made him better. God had wrought on him by grace, and they seem to envy him the grace of God. "Hie vir invider mihi gratkm Christi." He preached no treason, nor sowed no sedition, only he preached repentance and faith in. Christ and the resurrection; and for this he was called into question. This is the Breviat and sum of Paul's desence and plea for himself, which you sind in the sequel of the chapter, had a different efsect upon his judges. Festus seems to censure him, verse 24. Agrippa seems to be convinced by him, verse 28. The whole bench seems to acquit him verse 30, 31. Festus he thinks-Paul was beside himself. Agrippa he is almost persuaded to mhe such an one as himself. Festus thinks him mad because he did not understand the doc trine of Christ and the resurrection. "Much learning hath made thee mad. Dei sapientia mundi est; insania," Male, in loc' Agrippa he Ic so affected with his plea, that he almost w; ought into his principle. Paul pleads so effectually for his religion, that Agrippa seems to be upoh the turning point to his prosession. "Pu'tar heminem effe sas naticum," Mar. in loc. "Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian." Almost, (en oligo) so the...

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1825 edition. Excerpt: ... commands, and all out of a desire of salvation: put these together, and there is an answer to that question. The call of conscience; the power of the Word; the affection of credit; and the desire of salvation: may carry a man so far as to be almost a Christian. III. The third question propounded is this: Whence is it that many are but almost Christians, when they have gone thus far? what is the cause of this? I might give many answers to this question; but I shall instance two only, which I judge the most material. First, It is for want of right and sound conviction; if a man be not thoroughly convinced of sin, and his heart truly broken, whatever his profession of godliness may be, yet he will be sure to miscarry; every work of conviction is not a thorough work; there are convictions that are only natural and rational, but not from the powerful work of the Spirit of God. Rational conviction, is that which proceeds from the working of a natural conscience, charging guilt from the light of nature, by the help of those common principles of reason that are in all men: this is the conviction you read of Rom. ii. 14, 15. It is said that the Gentiles who had not the law, yet had "their consciences bearing witness, and accusing, or excusing one another," though they had not the light of Scripture, yet had they conviction from the light of nature; now by the help of the gospel-light, these convictions may be much improved, and yet the heart not renewed. But there is a spiritual conviction, and this is that work of the Spirit of God upon the sinner's heart by the Word, whereby the guilt and filth of sin is fully discovered, and the woe and misery of a natural state, distinctly set home upon the conscience, to the dread and terror of the sinner, ...
