The General Doctrine of Toleration Applied to the Particular Case of Free Communion. By Robert Robinson
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.
Delve into what it was like to live during the eighteenth century by reading the first-hand accounts of everyday people, including city dwellers and farmers, businessmen and bankers, artisans and merchants, artists and their patrons, politicians and their constituents. Original texts make the American, French, and Industrial revolutions vividly contemporary.

Robinson makes the argument that Baptist churches should open membership and communion to those who have not been baptized as believers by immersion (and oppose the notion theologically). His reasoning is simply that Scripture holds only one criterion: salvation, and so should the church.
He does admit that a line other than a mere profession of faith should be drawn; however, he goes into no detail as to how the overseer is to reach the determination that one has truly experienced the grace of Christ making him fit for the table. Nor does he give any real consideration to the impact of definitional misunderstandings within a membership.
The is a good work, and I appreciate the consistency. Nonetheless, I find the argument unconvincing.
