Baptism Once More. Ed. Joubsal: Trusting in the well known liberality of your widely-read pa per, I beg for a little space for a short reply to Mr. Galley's article on Baptism. I am very glad to see that that gentle man agrees with me regarding subjects and mode of the ordinance, but cannot see how he can ascribe to it any saving efficacy. We are saved by faith alone and not by any works, even if these consist in perfect, obedience to an express command of God. "By grace you have been sav ed." Eph. II. 5. "But, if it is by grace it is no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace." Rom. II. C Human nature is far more inclined to the cove nant of works, and continually asks: "What must I do to be saved?" The scripture answers, not do this or that, but it says: "Believe in the Lord Jesu3 Christ and be saved." I would not say one word against scrip tural baptism, for an ordinance that is mentioned or touched upon about 120 times in the Now Testament, must surely be of great importance, but to ascribe to it saving power is to detract from the glo ry of the only Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ. When he speaks of being born of water and of the spirit, water signifies the purifying influence of God's word, and the spirit is the new, divine life given to men in regeneration. John XV. 3, Eph. V. 2027 Again: Baptism for the remission (Acts IL 3S), for tho washing away of sins (Acts XXII. 1G) does not actually cleanse and puriry the soul, of sin, because nothing can do that except ing the blood of Jesus, I John I 7, but it typifies outwardly the inward remission and purification from sin, and as the first act of obedience of the believer proves his faith in, and love to, his Saviour. Thus as a first fruit or faith and a seal of covenant, as a burial of the old and a res urrection of the new man. as a washing off of ihe tilth of the flesh, ns a public confession and a stepping out from the world and an entering into the church it is of great importance. Wilful disobedi ence may cause the loss or one's soul as Mr. Galley rightly indicates, while no doubt many, being misled by false teach ers, may get to heaven without it. But if they don't miss heaven, they no doubt loose the blessedness of obedience here, for "Blessed are they that, keep his com mandeuts." I cheerfully accord a happy fying effect (so to speak) to the ordinance, if not a saving. This scribe signed his first article and therefore signs this one "A Wom to the Wise." HOME FOR PRINTERS.
