Baptist seaman from rhode island in 1765 concept of god

“Enough! That is enough! Americans have changed from then to 1740, now too modern to share the image of their souls, helpless to the Divine Grace, or to acknowledge the sovereignty of our sole God, our Father. As a Baptist who has come a long way over the sea to Rhode Island, I believe piety must grow again for people to overcome their unfaithful values on rationality that do not come from the Holy Spirit. God is our only hope! We must acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sin. Adults must be baptized for their sins, but the spirit of the clergy grows cold as they ordain ways that do not connect our individual souls to God, our emotions to our Father. Each person who reveals to God their faithfulness and reveals that the Holy Spirit dwells inside their souls shall reach salvation. Why is intellect so important to America now? Intellect is no glory in a corrupt soul. There is no greater glory than having one’s uncorrupted heart seen by the Divine Spirit. Therefore, only those educated, such as myself, in the truth must preach God’s word. The corrupt have no right to make it so men leave God’s only truly glorious church. We as people must treat one another as equal, thus hear each other’s voices, for that is what God wishes for us to do because salvation is for all souls. We are God’s people, thus, we must speak true; and you, modest farmer of 1640, are stuck in the days of God’s view on us as a people, but we as individual souls must seek communication with God, our Father.”
