So much for the lack of baptism. Then as So much for the lack of baptism. Then as to its positive efficacy when obtained, to its positive efficacy when obtained, to its positive efficacy when obtained, the papal doctrine is equally the papal doctrine is equally the papal doctrine is equally antis-scriptural. There are professed antis-scriptural. There are professed antis-scriptural. There are professed Protestants who hold the doctrine of Protestants who hold the doctrine of Protestants who hold the doctrine of baptismal regeneration, but the word of baptismal regeneration, but the word of baptismal regeneration, but the word of God knows nothing of it. The scriptural God knows nothing of it. The scriptural God knows nothing of it. The scriptural account of baptism is not that it account of baptism is not that it account of baptism is not that it communicates the new birth, but that it communicates the new birth, but that it communicates the new birth, but that it is the appointed means of signifying and is the appointed means of signifying and is the appointed means of signifying and sealing that new birth where it already sealing that new birth where it already sealing that new birth where it already exists. In this respect, baptism stands exists. In this respect, baptism stands exists. In this respect, baptism stands on the very same ground as circumcision. on the very same ground as circumcision. on the very same ground as circumcision. Now, what says God's word of the Now, what says God's word of the Now, what says God's word of the efficacy of circumcision, this it says efficacy of circumcision, this it says efficacy of circumcision, this it says speaking of Abraham, he received the speaking of Abraham, he received the speaking of Abraham, he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of sign of circumcision as a seal of sign of circumcision as a seal of righteousness of the faith which he had righteousness of the faith which he had righteousness of the faith which he had yet been uncircumcised. Romans 4:11, yet been uncircumcised. Romans 4:11, yet been uncircumcised. Romans 4:11, "Circumcision "Circumcision "Circumcision was not intended to make Abram was not intended to make Abram was not intended to make Abram righteous. He was righteous already righteous. He was righteous already righteous. He was righteous already before he was circumcised, but it was before he was circumcised, but it was before he was circumcised, but it was intended to declare him righteous, to intended to declare him righteous, to intended to declare him righteous, to give him the more abundant evidence in give him the more abundant evidence in give him the more abundant evidence in his own consciousness of his being." So, his own consciousness of his being." So, his own consciousness of his being." So, had Abraham not been righteous before had Abraham not been righteous before had Abraham not been righteous before his circumcision, his circumcision could his circumcision, his circumcision could his circumcision, his circumcision could not have been a seal, could not have not have been a seal, could not have not have been a seal, could not have given confirmation to that which did not given confirmation to that which did not given confirmation to that which did not exist. So with baptism, it is a seal of exist. So with baptism, it is a seal of exist. So with baptism, it is a seal of the righteousness of the faith which the the righteousness of the faith which the the righteousness of the faith which the man has before he is baptized. For it is man has before he is baptized. For it is man has before he is baptized. For it is said, "He that believeth and is baptized said, "He that believeth and is baptized said, "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved." Mark 16:16. Where faith

Where faith exists, if it be genuine, it is the exists, if it be genuine, it is the exists, if it be genuine, it is the evidence of a new heart, of a evidence of a new heart, of a evidence of a new heart, of a regenerated nature. And it is only on regenerated nature. And it is only on regenerated nature. And it is only on the profession of that faith and the profession of that faith and the profession of that faith and regeneration in the case of an adult regeneration in the case of an adult regeneration in the case of an adult that he is admitted to baptism.

Even in the case of infants who can make no the case of infants who can make no the case of infants who can make no profession of faith or holiness, the profession of faith or holiness, the profession of faith or holiness, the administration of baptism is not for the administration of baptism is not for the administration of baptism is not for the purpose of regenerating them or making purpose of regenerating them or making purpose of regenerating them or making them holy, but of declaring them holy in them holy, but of declaring them holy in them holy, but of declaring them holy in the sense of being fit for being the sense of being fit for being the sense of being fit for being consecrated even in infancy to the consecrated even in infancy to the consecrated even in infancy to the service of Christ, just as the whole service of Christ, just as the whole service of Christ, just as the whole nation of Israel in consequence of their nation of Israel in consequence of their nation of Israel in consequence of their relation to Abraham according to the relation to Abraham according to the relation to Abraham according to the flesh were holy unto the Lord.
