Fa. How do you prove that the Baptism of Water is Christ's Ordinance? 'Tis not said, Mat. 28.19.20. Teach all Nations, Baptizing them in Water, &c.
Son. But though Water is not there expressed, it is implied, because the Apostles could not Baptize with the Holy Ghost, for that is the Prerogative of Christ alone; besides, that which the Lord Jesus commanded them to Baptize ⟨p. 93⟩with, was that which they did Baptize with; but palpable it i•, that that which the Apostles Baptized with, was Water. Can any man forbid Water, that these should not be Baptized? &c. Acts 10.47.
