this Belief that he was sent from God and had his Doctrine from him and by such an Acknowledgment he profest at the same time that God bare testimony to this Doctrine by the plentiful effusion of the Holy Ghost So that to be Baptized in the Name of the Father Son and Holy Ghost and to be Baptized only in the Name of the Son are one and the same thing I shall conclude this with the Words of the Learned Mr. Limborck Theol. Christ pag. 645. Dominus Jesus ritui c. In English thus To this Rite before practised by John Baptist the Lord Jesus added another Signification viz. the Profession of his Name and the Publick Reception of the Doctrine he had preached Therefore he ordered that Baptism should be administred in the Name of the Father the Son and the Holy Ghost Mat. 28. 19. That those who should receive the Rite of Baptism might thereby give up themselves to the Father the Son and the Holy Ghost and profess themselves Disciples of that Doctrine which is originally derived from the Father revealed and preached by the Son and confirmed by the Holy Ghost with divers Miracles Signs Prodigies and Distributions of Gifts So that the Reception of Baptism was a publick Profession of the Doctrine of Christ Therefore it is that the Faithful are said every where to be Baptized in the Name of Christ that is to profess by their being Baptized that they receive his Doctrine as Divine and will be called by his Name as being their heavenly Master and only Saviour The Historian adds that 'T is in vain not to say ridiculously pretended that a Person or thing is God because we are Baptized unto it or in the Name of it For then Moses and St. John Baptist also would be Gods 1 Cor. 10. 1 2. Our Fathers were all Baptized unto Moses Acts 19. 3. Vnto what then were ye baptized And they said unto John 's Baptism that is say the Generality of Interpreters unto John and the Doctrine by him delivered He replies pag. 212. I confess he had answered this Argument could he have shewn us that the Jews were baptized in the Name of God and in the Name of Moses for that had joined Moses with God as our Saviour joins the Son and Holy Ghost with the Father in the form of Baptism But if the Jews were baptized in the Name of Moses who can doubt that they were baptized in the Name of God too as those who are baptized in the Name of Jesus are thereby baptized also in the Name of God as has been before shewed It is plain the Apostle compares Moses with Christ and tells the Corinthians that as they were baptized in the Name of Jesus the Son and Messenger of God so the Fathers had been baptized in the Name of Moses the Servant of God But we can afford the Author some places of Scripture wherein Creatures are joined with God Thus Exod. 14. 31. it is said And the People feared the Lord and believed the Lord and his Servant Moses In the Hebrew 'tis in the Lord and in Moses his Servant Here Moses the Man is joined with God and the Jews are said to believe in him as they believed in God So 1 Tim. 5. 21. I charge thee before God and the Lord Jesus Christ and the elect Angels that thou observe these things c. Here elect Angels thô Creatures are ranked with God in so great and important a Matter and act of Religion as an Obtestation Again Rev. 1. 4. Grace be to you and Peace from him which is and which was and which is to come and from the seven Spirits which are before his Throne If Moses and Angels may be joined with God in Acts of Faith of Obtestation and of Benediction why not the Son and Spirit in Baptism thô neither of them is God himself We plainly see by St. Paul's Words to the Corinthians that to be baptized in the Name of One does not import that he is God 1 Cor. 1. 14 15. I thank God says he I baptized none of you but Crispus and Gaius lest any should say that I had baptized in my own Name He plainly intimates that a meer Man may baptize in his own Name and if any of the Corinthians had thought so of the Apostle I hope they would not have concluded from thence that he was God or made himself God He adds It is plain that to baptize unto Moses is a Figurative and Allusive Expression and does not and cannot signify that they were baptized in the Name of Moses because it is not true Indeed the Jews were not baptized as Christians are but still they were baptized Let the Author call it a Figurative and Mystical Baptism or what else he pleases it was still a Baptism as St. Paul assures us And to be baptized into Moses is the same with being baptized in the Name of Moses as in the New Testament to be baptized into or unto Christ is the same with being baptized in the Name of Christ This was rightly understood by Vorstius who paraphrases this place thus Scitis etiam c. i. e. You know also that they were all baptized in the Doctrine of Moses as the Messenger of God as the Cloud and the Passage thrô the Red-Sea were designed for a Confirmation of the Ministry of Moses But he denies that to be baptized into Christ and baptized in the Name of Christ signify the same thing But he mistakes as grosly as he uses to do for any one may observe it that compares the Texts where these Phrases are used Thus John 3. 18. He that believeth on him in the Greek 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in or into or unto him is not condemned but he that believeth not is condemned already because he hath not believed in the Name of the only begotten Son of God So at Rom. 6. 3. and Gal. 3. 27. to be baptized into Christ and at Acts 2. 38. and 8. 16. to be baptized in the Name of Christ are used as equivalent terms Indeed the plain meaning of Rom. 6. 3. is this Know ye not that so many of us as were baptized in the Name of Christ and profest to obey his Doctrine lay thereby under an Obligation of a Spiritual Conformity to his Death in dying to Sin as he is dead and living to God as he is raised from the dead and lives with God So that the first words contrary to our Author's Assertion relate to the form of administring Baptism in the Name of Jesus and the latter to the effect of it This we may apply also to Gal. 3. 27. He further denies That to be baptized unto or into John 's Baptism signifies to be baptized in the Name of John for says he John did not baptize in his own Name but made Proselytes to the Messias But I hope he will not deny that to be baptized into Christ's Baptism is all one with being baptized in the Name of
