A few words more about Paul's baptism. In my lest letter I thought I gavo mfficient proof to remote oil doubt as to how Paul was baptised ; but it seems tbat my friend would like to use a l ttla irony about it. 1 sin sorry thut in "his zeal" tQ refute my argument he failed to give ail 1)1* ficts in the case. Ho seems to doubt th? importance "f the word amul<u, fouod in the otigiua', (Acts 22: 10), 'which implies not only to 'a- ise," but ui (ion after rising, and think in/ perhaps that Acts 'J : 18 would throve weight on his s de. he quoted : "And uiune tiate'y there fo 1 from his eyes as it had becu scales : and he received s;ght f rthwith, an) arote and was baptized." If my fri-nd will get his Greek Testament and examine this text, lie will find the very same word here that we discussed irt tho other text, meaning motion from or ? leaving a place etc. 1 do not roe anything in this translation 'tat variance with the writieu word. ' In order to remove all doubts, let U9 quote a few passages of Paul*a writinc: "Therefore, wc ere buried with Ilim (Christ) by baptism in'o death, that like as Christ w is raised up from tho dead bv the glory of tho Father; even ro toe also should walk in newness of life," eto., Rom: 0:4; "Else what sha'l they do, which are baptized for the do id; if the deal rise not at all why are they then baptized fir the dead ?" I Cor. 16:29; "For as many gf y iu as have boon baptized into Christ have put Christ," (Jul 3 ; 27 ; "Duricd with Him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with Him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath rasod Hitn from the dead." Col. 2 : 12 ; "One faith, one Lord, J one baptism " Eph. 4 : 5. Does this not in itself explain how Paul was baptized, and what he regarded as baptism? If it does not meau that lie was immersed and that he preached immersion as baptism, please explain to me these passages. The othor passages quote 1 by my friend do not need any comment, biuco with untramineled thinking the meauing is obvious, and 1 have not spaco to note each pqssa^a 8cpara"o'y. 3. 1 agree with my friend that wo should lei iuu uioie cxpiiiiD nsen ; nui m oruer 10 w understand tho true translation of the bible wo must not bo satisfied with the King .1 nine's version alone, bm go to the original Orcek Testament and with the help of lexicons get the true meaning of the text. 4. In reference to infant baptism to which Friend "Joe" alluded in his list letter, I have but a few words to say at present. (1) It is unscr plural and I believe wrong. (2) Baptism should be udm n siertd to thosij only who have exercised saving frith iu Go I. This 1 claim infants cannot do, 5. Friend "Joe" wants to knew if the baptism of water, the Holy Ghost mid fire, spoken of in Ma't. 3:11, menus unmor.-i >n. I imphntiually answer yea. "1 indeed baptize you with w >ter unto repentance ; but lie that Cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear, llo 1 shall baptize you with the Holy Gbo?l and with fire." You must bear in mind that our. King James' version of the bible is the BpiSoo^ pnlian translation. Get your Greek Testa: uieut and let us examine the original nud see if it is in or with water, eto., that should he used. The original say#: "1 indeed b'ptUc you in water (c? huda(i) unto rcuci)t? ance. Ho shall baptize you in tho Ho y Ghost (en puenmati) nud in fire (en puri). In this rauie chapter, titli verso, wo hive the very s itne propositi >n translated in tho King Jaui^s' version, "in Jordan." Why not say baptized "with Jordan." To be baptized of the Holy Ghost than uuans ilia' the sou's of believers must be immersed in the Holy Ghost; so that it would entirely penetrate their bein* and form within them a principle of life. Ueacl Acts 1:6. 1 I). Friend ' Joe" c ills the c lebrated lVlebaptists scholars who do not a^ivo wiili him as to the meaning of "baptixo," schismatic il iuimcr.-ioiijsta." I did not kuovy that Charles Anthon. Gcoigo Cinipfsll, Thomas Chalmers, Moses Stew nt, Martin Luther, J din Caivin, Adam Clarke, John Wesley, tho fouuder of his oivn cliuroh, were sohisiqutios ! That is news to me! J. He closes by saying' "The primitive tnodd of baptism is not necessarily the bible mode." In that assertion lie virtually admits that tlie primitive mode was by immersion. Now, let me ask my friend a question. If primitive baptism is nit bible baptism, what is bible baptism? in matters of liw we must use Words in their primary or historical sense. No see ndtry or figurative sense can be applied as long us the historicil enso can bj app'icd. This is a fun lamcntal rn'e to Le used in the interpretation of all v.ri'ing', liuthsicred and profane. Unless words are ' used in their primary sense tlicy will fail of their design. Tnis being true, immersion is inevitably ilte act of Christian baptism j | for beyond doubt the word in Giq historical seose mollis to ' nip" and the like. Therefore, sinco there is lint one ba) tism, all o'lur forms of baptism are uuscriptural. Now in conclusion let me nsk a few questions, and if my friend answers them satisfact rily and evinces to toe tliat lie is c rrect and any ?tlier th ?iij iuiiners.on is tbc oible or primitive mode of baptism, as usqj by the Apostl* s, 1 shall be converted to his faith 1. Can yon find any oilier word in the Greek lexicons besides bitpt'io that means to <lip, immerse, etc? 2. It y >n cla m Unit haphzt litems to spriiik'e <>r poar, can you timl any oilier word or words which mean the same?
