Word & Deed

3. We must understand the way we profess true religion:

a. By words and by actions.

b. The solemn profession of ‘God’s public ordinances’ and an occasional or more private profession ‘by conference or conversation’. (I think by this he means in the first part – going to church, baptism and the Lord’s Supper especially – and by the second – the way in our ‘private lives’ we live as public Christians, observed by all around us in all we do.)

In all these ways must true religion be professed.
