THE AUTHORITY OF THE True Ministry, In Baptizing with the SPIRIT; and the IDOLATRY of such Men, as are do∣ting about Shadows and Carnal Ordinances, and their Ignorance of the Sprits Baptism (of which, Water Baptism was but a figure) discovered.
And herein is shewed, That Water Baptism is neither of necessity to Salvation, nor yet is it now Practiced either by Authority from Heaven, or by any New-Testament-Law that is in force upon Believers; seeing the Substance, and the End of things abolished is come and enjoyed, wherein the Types, Shadows and Figures, are ended.
Being a short Return to a Book Entituled, A Reply to a Scandalous Paper, subscribed by one Samuel Bradley, a Baptist Teacher, as concerning a dispute that was between some of the people called QVAKERS, and some BAPTISTS in South-warke.
Act. 11. 15, 16. And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning, then remembred I the Word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed Baptised with Wa∣ter, but Ye shall be Baptised with the Holy Ghost.
1 Pet. 3. 21. The like Figure whereunto, even Baptism doth also now save us; not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the Answer of a good Conscience towards God, by the Re∣surrection of Jesus Christ, Ephes. 4. 5. There is one Lord, one Faith, one Baptism.
