The evangelical, then, does not put the external [outward profession of faith], because the Scripture does not put it first. The gospel comes first. It is by the gospel that election takes effect; that God adds to the church; and therefore where that gospel is obscured or denied, and where the biblical terms of admission […]

Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you— unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also […]
