WK Translation Notes

a
Baptism is "unto" or "to" only, not "into," even in {vi 24215}{/vi}. Baptism is the symbol of profession. Reality depends on faith; which might, or might not, be true of the baptized, as is certain from our Lord’s words in {vi 24890}{/vi}. To say "into" therefore goes beyond God’s word and implies vital efficacy without scriptural warrant. All have not faith.
