  Revolutionary War General, First Surveyor General of the United States
  [F]irst, I give my soul to a holy, sovereign God Who gave it in humble hope of a blessed immortality through the atonement and righteousness of Jesus Christ and the sanctifying grace of the Holy Spirit.

  Roger Sherman
  Signer of the Declaration of Independence, Signer of the Constitution
  I believe that there is one only living and true God, existing in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. . . . that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are a revelation from God. . . . that God did send His own Son to become man, die in the room and stead of sinners, and thus to lay a foundation for the offer of pardon and salvation to all mankind so as all may be saved who are willing to accept the Gospel offer.

  Lewis Henry Boutell, The Life of Roger Sherman (Chicago: A. C. McClurg and Company, 1896), pp. 272-273.

  Richard Stockton
  Signer of the Declaration of Independence
  I think it proper here not only to subscribe to the entire belief of the great and leading doctrines of the Christian religion, such as the Being of God, the universal defection and depravity of human nature, the divinity of the person and the completeness of the redemption purchased by the blessed Savior, the necessity of the operations of the Divine Spirit, of Divine Faith, accompanied with an habitual virtuous life, and the universality of the divine Providence, but also . . . that the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom; that the way of life held up in the Christian system is calculated for the most complete happiness that can be enjoyed in this mortal state; that all occasions of vice and immorality is injurious either immediately or consequentially, even in this life; that as Almighty God hath not been pleased in the Holy Scriptures to prescribe any precise mode in which He is to be publicly worshiped, all contention about it generally arises from want of knowledge or want of virtue.

  Will of Richard Stockton

  Jonathan Trumbull Sr.
  Governor of Connecticut, Patriot
  Principally and first of all, I bequeath my soul to God the Creator and Giver thereof, and body to the Earth . . . nothing doubting but that I shall receive the same again at the General Resurrection thro the power of Almighty God; believing and hoping for eternal life thro the merits of my dear, exalted Redeemer Jesus Christ.

  Will of Jonathan Trumbull

  John Witherspoon
  Signer of the Declaration of Independence
  I entreat you in the most earnest manner to believe in Jesus Christ, for there is no salvation in any other [Acts 4:12]. . . . [I]f you are not reconciled to God through Jesus Christ, if you are not clothed with the spotless robe of His righteousness, you must forever perish.

  In reply to Psychosis.

  We must do the same thing the progressives have done for the last 100yrs. They have said that false phrase of separation of church and state so much , that most people believe it is what the constitution says.(including politicians and judges) so we must point out at nauseam as you guys have just done that it does not say that , and what it really says and means , Also this nation was formed on Christian beliefs and the founders were not Deists but they where Christians. I feel we must do this over and over and loudly until the other phrase is gone once and for all. The schools wont do it so WE THE PEOPLE must teach the correct history to our children !
