CHAP. VII. Proving Believers to be the only true Subjects of Baptism, from the Apostles Doctrine, and the Practice of the Primitive Churches.
WE read that the Apostles, according to the Commission Christ gave them, preached the Gospel of the Kingdom, having received the Spirit from on high, and began at Jerusalem as he had commanded them, and ⟨p. 71⟩so endeavoured to make Men and Women Disciples, i. e. bringing them to the sense and sight of their Sins, and knowledge of their lost and miserable condition by Nat••e, as being unconverted and without Christ; and in Acts 2. where Peter preached the first Sermon that was preached after the Ascension of the Lord Jesus, And when they heard this (the Text saith) they were pricked in their Hearts, and sai• unto Peter and the rest of the Apostles, Men and Brethren, what shall we do? then said Peter, REPENT AND BE BAPTIZED every one of you in the Name of Jesus Christ, for the Remission of Sins, and ye shall receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost, &c.
