A Defense of a Book, Entitled, The Ancient Mode of Baptizing By Immersion

Summary

This sermon transcript is a detailed defense of baptism by immersion, responding to criticisms by Mr. Matthias Morris. It argues that scriptural evidence, including the baptism of Christ and the eunuch, supports immersion rather than pouring or sprinkling. The speaker critiques opposing interpretations of biblical texts and emphasizes that baptism symbolizes Christ's death, burial, and resurrection. The Greek word 'baptizo' is affirmed to primarily mean to dip or plunge, reinforcing immersion as the correct mode.
