Question. How many BAPTISMS are there?
A. One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism [Eph. 4:5].
Q. What is this Baptism?
A. The like Figure, whereunto even Baptism doth now save us: not the putting away the Filth of the Flesh, but the Answer of a good Conscience towards God, by the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, who is gone into Heaven, and is on the Right Hand of God, Angels, and Authorities, and Powers, being made subject unto him [1 Pet. 3:21-22].
Q. What saith John the Baptist of Christ's Baptism? how distinguisheth he it from his?
A. I indeed baptize you with Water unto Repentance; but he that cometh after me, is Mightier then I, whose Shoes I am not worthy to bear, he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with Fire [Matt. 3:11].
Q. Doth not Christ so distinguish it also?
A. And being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem; but wait for the promise of the Father, which saith he, ye have heard of me: For John truly baptized with Water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost, not many days hence [Acts 1:4-5].
Q. Doth not the Apostle Peter observe this?
A. And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the Beginning; Then remembered I the Word of the Lord, how, that he said, John indeed baptized with Water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost [Acts 11:15-16].
Q. Then it seems John's Baptism must pass away, that Christ's may take place; because John must decrease, that Christ may increase?
A. He must increase, but I must decrease [John 3:30].
Q. I perceive then, many may be sprinkled with and dipped and baptized in Water, and yet not truly baptized with the Baptism of Christ? What are the real Effects in such as are truly baptized with the Baptism of Christ?
A. Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his Death? Therefore we are buried with him by Baptism into Death, that like as Christ was raised up from the Dead by the Glory of the Father, even we also should walk in Newness of Life [Rom. 6:3-4].
For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ, have put on Christ [Gal. 2:27].
Buried with him in Baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him, through the Faith of the Operation of God, who hath raised him from the Dead [Col. 2:12].
