Excerpt from A Rejoinder to the Princeton Review, Upon the Elohim Revealed, Touching the Doctrine of Imputation and Kindred Topics On the other hand I hold, That it was necessary for the Son of God to assume human nature by generation, so as to be one with our race, and so subject to the law of God for our sins; whilst being begotten by the power of the Holy Ghost, and not by ordinary generation, he was free from the sinfulness of our nature. That the believer is, by the communication-to him of the Holy Spirit, dwelling in and proceeding from Christ, united to him in a real union, expressed by the scriptures as being 'members of his body, of his flesh and of his bones,' &c. That this identity it is which entitles the believer to claim Christ's righteous ness as his, by virtue of which he is justified at the bar of God. That hence it follows, that whilst the plan of salvation thus wrought is altogether gratuitous, and hence of mere grace, - ou the other hand, as by the wonderful working of that free grace we are engrafted into Christ, and he is made our Head, the law being satisfied, we may with reverent boldness and adoring gratitude make the plea at the bar of justice of N ot guilty,' since Christ and all he has done is, not only putatively, but, by free grace uniting us, really ours.

Samuel John Baird was born on September 17, 1817 at Newark, Ohio. His early years were spent at Pittsburgh, where he helped his father in the publication of The Christian Herald.
He began his collegiate education at Jefferson College, but on account of ill health was obliged to suspend it, and after a brief rest he took charge in 1839 of a school near Abbeville. Resuming his studies, he prepared himself for the Presbyterian ministry by finishing his college course at Centre College, Danville, and his theological training at the Indiana Theological Seminary, New Albany, where he graduated in 1843.
On the completion of his theological studies he preached as a licentiate, first in Baltimore, and later in Kentucky and the Southwest. In 1854 he was ordained by the Presbytery of Cedar [later Cedar Rapids] and became the pastor of the Presbyterian church at Muscatine. Here he served until 1857. From 1857 to 1865 he was the pastor of the church at Woodbury, New Jersey. He left this field in order to promote the work of the American Bible Society with which the Virginia Bible Society cooperated in the state of Virginia. This position he occupied for ten years, surrendering it in 1875 in order to assume the pastorate of the Third Presbyterian Church in that city. His next field of service was in the church of Ronceverte. This he held from 1884 to 1888, with his residence at Fort Spring in the same state. From 1888 to 1891 he lived in retirement at Blacksburg, Virginia, and removed the next year to Staunton. He died at the residence of his son, Robert W. Baird, in West Clifton Forge, Virginia. Baird made a special study of the Presbyterian form of church government, and of its practical workings. What the Presbyterian Church most needed in the first half of the nineteenth century was an adequate codified collection of the decisions made by its governing body, the General Assembly. Before the year 1821, nothing but brief excerpts of the deliverances of this body were available. At various intervals between 1821 and 1854 efforts had been made to supply the need, but their success was only partial. Baird undertook single handed the work of producing his Collection of the Acts, Deliverances, and Testimonies of the Supreme Judicatory of the Presbyterian Church to the Present Time (1854). This work was revised and reissued in a second edition (1856) and was commonly called "The Assembly's Digest. " The General Assembly of 1856 (o. s. ) gave the work such recognition as raised it to the rank of a semiofficial statute book. Baird's other works in the same field are: The Church of Christ, Its Constitution and Order (1864); A History of the Early Polity of the Presbyterian Church in the Training of Ministers; and A History of the New School and the Questions Involved in the Disruption (1868).
He earned a reputation of a careful researcher. He is best known for his books The Socinian Apostacy of the English Presbyterian Churches (1857); The First Adam and the Second: the Elohim Revealed in the Creation and Redemption of Man (1860); and The Great Baptiser; a Bible History of Baptism (1882).

He was a man of scholarly instincts and intuitions, careful and accurate in research, and exhaustive in treatment. His powers as a public speaker were not above the average, and his general temper was that of the conservative rather than the aggressive thinker.
In 1840 he was married to Jane Jemima Wilson.
