Cottontown, Sumner Co., Tn.
Four days, two propositions Bro. Srygley affirmed: "Baptism is for (in order to) remission of sins." He began with the great commission and showed the conversions in the book of Acts. Mr. Malone agreed that Jesus said "he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved," but that this salvation was eternal salvation. He said belief saves from past sins. Bro. Srygley admitted that men are saved by faith, but by a perfect faith, one which had been perfected by obedience to the command to "be baptized." Mr. Malone used the O. T. to show that repentance and faith were the conditions of blessings without works. Bro. Srygley replied that men who received the blessings of God always did what God told them, whether little or much; that blessings in all the dispensations came as a result of obedience.
Malone affirmed: "The scriptures teach that through the light of the gospel the H.S. must come in personal contact with the heart of the sinner in order to his conversion. Both agrees that there could be no conversion of a sinner without the preaching of the gospel. Both admitted that in the conversion the Spirit as the active cause. Mr. Malone said that after the gospel had been heard the Spirit personally came in contact with the sinner's heart and converted him. Bro. Srygley answered by saying that the H.S. was active in conversion, but did not act directly upon the heart of the sinner, but used the word as its instrument; indeed, that the word was "the sword of the Spirit."
The debate was well attended. Several gospel preachers attended. They were more that satisfied with bro. Srygley's defense of truth. Each day a bountiful repast was spread at noon to satisfy the hunger of the multitude. I do not see where the good women got the time to make such elaborate preparations to prepare such excellent food, for the they were at the debate all day. The debate closed with good spirits all around. The people enjoyed it. All seemed glad it had taken place.
