A Short Catechism About BAPTISM By John Tombes B. D. HEB. 6. 2. Of the Doctrine of Baptisms LUKE 7. 35. But Wisdom is justified of all her children LONDON Printed by Henry Hills next door to the Sign of the Peacock in Aldersgate-street 1659. To the Christian Reader MAny are the things at this day charged on Antipaedobaptists in their doctrine and practise which have been proved to be unjustly imputed to them by many large Treatises extant in Print For a more facile understanding of the truth then by reading larger tracts is this Compendium in a manner of a Catechism composed and published in this time wherein others of different judgement have thought fit to declare their way to the World which is done not because this point of Baptism is judged the onely or main point of our Religion but because the disagreement in other things is either small or of particular persons whose cause is to be severed from that which is commonly held and therefore requires not a distinct confession or declaration from that which is by others published The aim of the Composer of it is the manifestation of the truth wherein he doth rejoyce and desires thou mayest rejoyce with him His motion is that of the Apostle Phil. 3. 15 16. As many of us as be perfect let us be thus minded and if ye be otherwise minded God shall reveal even this unto you Nevertheless whereunto we have already attained let us walk by the same rule let us mind the same thing Farewell A short Catechism about Baptism Quest 1. IS Baptism with water an Ordinance of Christ to be continued by his Disciples till the end of the World Answ Baptism with water is an ordinance of Christ which is to be continued by his Disciples till the end of the World as appears by his command Mat. 28. 19 20. Mark 16. 15 16. it being to be joyned with preaching of the Gospel and making Disciples by preaching teaching them to observe all that Christ commands and so to be continued while these are to continue which is proved to be till the end of the world by Christs promise of his being with them till then which were vain if the things appointed were not to be done so long Quest 2. Is not the end of the world as much as the end of that age Answ It appears that Matthew means by the end of the world the last time or day wherein there will be a separation of good and bad the one to be burned with fire and the other to shine as the Sun in that in the places wherein Matthew useth the self-same form of speech to wit {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} Matth. 13. 39 40 49. Matth. 24. 3. he cannot be understood to mean any other Quest 3. May not the Baptizing in Matth. 28. 19. Mark 16. 16. be understood of some other Baptism then that of water Answ The Baptism there must needs be understood of Baptism by water sith Baptizing where ever it is made John Baptists or the Disciples act which they did or were to do is meant of Baptizing with water as John 4. 1 2. and in many other places it appears and the Apostles by their practise and command Acts 2. 38. 41. Acts 8. 12. 13. 38. Acts 10. 47 48. shew that they so understood Christs appointment Mat. 28. 19. Mark 16. 16. Quest 4 May it not be meant of Baptizing by the Spirit or afflictions Answ It cannot be so understood sith Baptizing with the Spirit is no where ascribed to any other then Christ Matth. 3. 11. Luke 3. 16. Nor is Baptism with the Spirit a duty for us to do but a free gift of Christ not common to all Disciples of Christ but peculiar to some and to appoint them the baptizing by affliction had been to make the Apostles persecutors Quest 5. Why did Paul then say Christ sent him not to Baptize 1 Cor. 1. 16. Answ Not because he was not appointed at all to Baptize for if so he would not have Baptized those he did Baptize 1 Cor. 1. 14. 16. c. But because it was not the chief thing he was to do as when the washing of water is said not to save 1 Pet. 3. 21. because it is not the onely or principal means of saving Quest 6. What is the Baptizing appointed by Jesus Christ Answ The Baptizing appointed by Jesus Christ is dipping of the whole body in water into the name of the Father Son and Holy Ghost as is manifest from the term Baptizing and the use of going into and coming up out of the water Mat. 3. 16. Acts 8. 38 39. the use of much water John 3. 23. The resembling by the Baptism used the burial and resurrection of Christ Rom. 6. 4. Col. 2. 12. and the testimonies of the ancients of the first ages Quest 7. May not the sprinkling or powring water on the face be the Baptism of Christ Answ Neither the Scripture nor any ancient Authour call sprinkling or pouring water on the face Baptism nor any use of it in the primative times doth countenance it and therefore such sprinkling or pouring water is not the Baptism which Christ appointed Quest 8. What is it to Baptize into the name of the Father Son and Holy Ghost Answ It is not to Baptize onely with the naming of those persons but into the profession of the Father Son and Holy Ghost as our Master or Teacher as appears by the words of Paul 1 Cor. 1. 13. Which shew that if the Corinthians had been Baptized into the name of Paul they had professed him to be their Master Quest 9. Are they rightly Baptized who are Baptized into the name of Jesus Christ though no other person be named Answ They are it being all one to Baptize into the name of Jesus Christ and to Baptize into the name of the Father Son and Holy Ghost as appears by the precept Acts 2. 38. and practice Acts 10. 48. Acts 19. 5. Though the expression of each person be convenient Quest 10. Are the persons to be Baptized altogether passive in their Baptism Answ No For Baptism is their duty required of them as well as the Baptizer Acts 2. 38. and Paul is commanded to arise and be Baptized and wash away his sins calling on the name of the Lord Acts 22. 16. Quest 11. Who are appointed to Baptize Answ They who are appointed to preach the Gospel Matth. 28. 19. Mark 16. 15 16. Quest 12. Whom are they appointed to Baptize Ausw Those who repent of sin believe in Christ Jesus and are his Disciples Mat. 28. 19. Mark 16. 16. Acts 2. 38. Acts 8. 37. Quest 13. Were not Infants Baptized when whole housholds were Baptized Acts 16. ●5 33. Answ No For it appears not there were any Infants in the houses and the texts shew they were not Baptized sith the word was spoken to al in the house ver. 32. and all the house rejoyced believing God ver. 34. and else where
