You can create a glm fit with only an offset created from the coefficients
that you have, then use the regular predict function with that.  For
example using the iris data (first fitting a model on the real data, then
fitting a new model using dummy data and the coefficients from the first
fit):

fit1 <- glm( I(Species=='versicolor') ~ Petal.Length + Petal.Width,
   data=iris, family=binomial )
coef(fit1)

dummydata <- data.frame( Petal.Length = rnorm(10), Petal.Width=rnorm(10),
Species = rep(c('versicolor','other'), each=5) )

fit2 <- glm( I(Species=='versicolor') ~ 0 +
  offset(-2.863708 + 1.563076*Petal.Length - 3.153165*Petal.Width),
data=dummydata, family=binomial )

pred1 <- predict(fit1, newdata=iris)
pred2 <- predict(fit2, newdata=iris)
plot(pred1,pred2)
abline(0,1, col='green')
