OKLAHOMA CITY _'.OMMENTATORS and TRANSLA 1. John Calvin (Presbyterian ): ''The word baptize si 1mmeri;e, and it is certain that the right of immersion was (; by the anciPn t church" (Inst. Book 4, c 15.) 2. Philip Schaff, D. D., LL. o., Prof. of Church history, l. Theological Sem., N. Y. : "The baptism or Ch rist in the river of Joru. and the illustrations of baptism in the New T~stament are all in favo, of immersion rather than sprinkling, as it is freely admit ted by the best exeiretes, catholic and Protestan t, English, and German ." (Teach. pp. 55, 56 ) 3. Luther (Lutheran): "Bapti -m i3 a Greek word. In Latin it can be translated immersion, as when we plunge something into the water, that it may be completely covered wiLh water. They ought to have b een completPly immPrsed." (The Sacrament of Baptism.) 4. John Wesley (MPthodist): "We are buried with him, alluding to the i> ncifnt n: ar:ner d b q tiz it ~- by irrmeH'icm." (Notes on N. T. Rom. 6:3) "Baptized according to t he cusllom of the first church and tlle rule of the chureh of England, b y immersion ." (Journal vol. l,P.20 .) 5 Whitefield (Methodist): ft is ce rta in that t here is an illusion to the manner of baptism, which was by immersion." (Sermon on Rom. 6. 4 ) 6 Adatn Clark, D. D. Me thodist ): "As they received baptism a'I an emblPm of death in volu ntarily going under the water, so they receivP it as an emblem of the resurrPc tion into e ternal life in coming up out of the water." (Com. Vo l. 4, N. T.) 7. Dr. Wall (E piscopa lian): "rheir general and ordinary way was to baptise by immersion, or dippirig-this is so plain and clear, by an infini te nu •. her fif passage!'\. It was, in all probabili ty, the way which our bleF,ed Ravior, and for certa in was the u ~u al and ordinary way by which the an<>ient ChriRtians did receive their baptism." (Hist. Bap. Vol. 1. pp. 570-571.) 8. Alex de Rt.ourdza ('1a •ive Greek): " The verb baptize has in fact but one s ·,h: concep tion . It ;si ~nifies li terally and always to plunge. Bap-ti~m and imme:sion are, therefore, identical, and to say baptism by spri-nkling is a ; if O'le should say immersion by sprinkling, or any other ab-surdity of fop same naturP." (Con. sur La9oeet L'Esprit, p. 887.) 9. Jeremiah (Gre~lc Patriarch ): " The "ncients did not sprinkle the canrlidate, bu t im mersed him ." 10. St .

Smith's Dictiouary: "Baptism means immersion." 15. Liddell and Scott : Baptise, to dip in or under water." 16. Robinson (Presbyter ,an): "To imm~rse, to sink." 17. Dr. Anthon: "The primary meaning of the world is to dip or immerse. Sprinkling and pouring are out of the question." 18. Bagster: "To dip or immerse." I !!.Greenfield: "To immerse, submerge, sink."
