Article XVI: Of Sin after Baptism

Fr. Andrew's sermon on Article XVI of The 39 Articles of Religion: Of Sin after Baptism, preached on the Second Sunday after Easter (4.19.2026)."Not every deadly sin willingly committed after baptism is sin against the Holy Ghost and unpardonable. Wherefore the grant of repentance is not to be denied to such as fall into sin after baptism. After we have received the Holy Ghost, we may depart from grace given and fall into sin, and by the grace of God we may rise again and amend our lives. And therefore they are to be condemned which say they can no more sin as long as they live here, or deny the place of forgiveness to such as truly repent."
