Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Conversations on the Mode of Christian Baptism Q. Is there any reason to believe that these points are capable of being proved? A. Yes. Q. Will you state the reasons why you believe immersion is not essential to baptism? A. With pleasure, in the following sections. Section II. Not one of the Inspired Writers has said that immersion is Essential to Baptism. Q. Has any one of the inspired writers ever said, that immersion is necessary to constitute Christian baptism; so essential, that without it there is no baptism? A. No. Q. Is formal proof of this denial necessary? A. No: as the exclusive immersionists have never, and can never, produce the passage from the Bible, which expressly asserts that immersion is necessary to baptism. Q. Has the Holy Ghost, then, by express declaration, restricted baptism to immersion? ´A. No. Q. Has this fact an important bearing on the subject in question? A. Yes: as it shows, that all the evidence in favour of exclusive immersion is only inferential. Q. Would you suppose this to be the case, from the mode in which the advocates of exclusive immersion generally speak on the subject? A. From the confident manner in which they speak, I should suppose, that their evidence from the Scriptures was not at all inferential, but of a strictly positive character; indeed, that the word of God has in express terms restricted baptism to immersion. Q. When they speak thus confidently, what course would you advise to be pursued? A. Just ask them to show, "Thus saith the Lord" or the plain and positive declaration of any one of the inspired writers, in support of their opinion; and it will be found, that, instead of producing such a declaration, they have to betake themselves to a kind of proof altogether inferential, thus leaving the inferential proof open to investigation.
