BAPTISM
I should think it a high sin and treason against heaven, if, believing that baptism
signifieth immersion, and immersion only, I should pretend to administer it by
sprinkling; or, believing that baptism appertaineth to believers only, I should
consider myself a criminal in the sight of God if I should give it to any but those who
believe. 186.170
Do not make any mistake, and imagine that immersion in water can wash away sin;
but do remember that if the Lord puts this outward profession side by side with the
washing away of sins it is not a trifling matter. 1838.251
