(1)JOHN’S BAPTISM was a separation of the remnant of Israel who repented, with a view to their belief in Christ, who should come after him (Acts 19:4). (2) CHRISTIAN BAPTISM is a burying with Christ into death (in figure). It follows a profession of belief in Christ (Acts 2; 8:12, &c.) and admits into the circle of Christian profession on earth (Matt. 28:19; Acts 11:38, &c.) It is in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost (Matt. 28), and of the Lord (Acts 10:48).
