CHRISTIAN BAPTISM, THE PROFESSION OF THE FAITH OF
THE GOSPEL.
BAPTISM IS THE PROFESSION, ON THE PART OF
THE SUBJECT, OF "THE FAITH" OF THE
GOSPEL.
TEXT.--"Unto [eis] what then were ye baptized?"
--Acts 19:3.CHRISTIAN BAPTISM is not the
celebration of a religious rite by
modes indifferent; but a specific act
to be administered by a specific body,
to persons professing specific qualifications, for
the profession of specific truths. When one of
these properties is wanting, the transaction is
"null and void," since, unless the ordinances
are observed as Christ commanded, they are
not kept, but perverted, and bring upon the
parties not the commendation, but condemna-
tion, of the Master.(3)
