8. Anne Hutchinson’s Creed
That the Law and the preaching of it, is of no use at all to drivea man to Christ.
That a man is united to Christ and justified, without faith; yea,from eternity.
That faith is not a receiving of Christ, but a man's discerningthat he hath received him already.
That a man is united to Christ only by the work of the Spiritupon him, without any act of his.
That a man is never effectually Christ's, till he hath assurance.
This assurance is only from the witness of the Spirit.
This witness of the Spirit is merely immediate, without anyrespect to the word, or any concurrence with it.
When a man hath once this witness he never doubts more.
To question my assurance, though I fall into murder oradultery, proves that I never had true assurance.
Sanctification can be no evidence of a man's good estate.
No comfort can be had from any conditional promise.
Poverty in spirit (to which Christ pronounced blessedness,Matt. v. 3) is only this, to see I have no grace at all.
To see I have no grace in me, will give me comfort; but to takecomfort from sight of grace, is legal.
An hypocrite may have Adam's graces that he had ininnocence.
The graces of Saints and hypocrites differ not.
All graces are in Christ, as in the subject, and none in us, thatChrist believes, Christ loves, etc.
Christ is the new Creature.
God loves a man never the better for any holiness in him, andnever the less, be he never so unholy.
Sin in a child of God must never trouble him.
Trouble in conscience for sins of Commission, or for neglect ofduties, shows a man to be under a covenant of works.
All covenants to God expressed in works are legal works.
A Christian is not bound to the Law as a rule of hisconversation.
A Christian is not bound to pray except the Spirit moves him.
A minister that hath not this new light is not able to edifyothers: that have it.
The whole letter of the Scripture is a covenant of works.
No Christian must be pressed to duties of holiness.
No Christian must be exhorted to faith, love, and prayer, etc.,except we know he hath the Spirit.
A man may have all graces, and yet want Christ.
All a believer's activity is only to act sin.
