Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Doctrine of Christian Baptism: An Exposition of Its Nature, Subjects, Mode, and Duty The nature, design, obligation, and efficacy of Christian baptism Should be carefully studied by all Christians, and especially by Christian ministers. This ordinance comes to us by Divine authority. When our Lord commissioned his disciples to go out and preach the gospel to all nations, he also commissioned them to baptize. The command to preach is no more authoritative than the command to baptize. They are joined together in the great commis sion. Here we date the divine origin of baptism as a standing, obligatory, and perpetual ordinance of the Christian Church. Here is the great charter from which the Christian ministry in all ages drew their Divine au thority for the administration of this ordinance.
