The Largely Catechized Life

Do you measure baptism by the giver or the receiver?

“But these people, the fanatics, are so blinded that they do not see the Word and command of God, and regard Baptism and the magistrates only as they regard water in the brook or in pots, or as any other man; and because they do not see faith nor obedience, they conclude that they are to be regarded as invalid. Here lurks a concealed seditious devil, who would like to tear the crown from the head of authority and then trample it under foot, and, in addition, pervert and bring to naught all the works and ordinances of God.”

By Rev. Harrison Goodman

Pr. Goodman serves as associate pastor at Mount Calvary Lutheran Church in San Antonio, Texas.
