Subject: Who should baptize? |
Bible Note: Thanks, Andrew, that helps a lot. You know, sir, to my shame I've been sorely remiss in my study of this subject and, this thread has really convicted me to delve deeper, especially, into the Word, also to read more of what the early Church fathers, and also what the reformers taught on the subject of Baptism. "And therefore, if you ask, “Why do you immerse in Baptism?” I say because Baptism must, in the very nature of things, be a representation setting forth figuratively the burial and resurrection of Christ and because to immerse and to immerse only, is the meaning of this word baptize."- Rev. Hugh Stowell Brown (1823-1886) John |
