VI. Of the Freeness of Salvation ᏧᎬᏩᎶᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎵᏍᏕᎸᏙᏗ

We believe that the blessings of salvation are made free to all by the gospel; that it is the

immediate duty of all to accept them by a cordial penitent, and obedient faith; and that

nothing prevents the salvation of the greatest sinner on earth, but his own inherent

depravity and voluntary rejection of the gospel; which rejection involves him in an

aggravated condemnation
