mans &. 4: "Fherefore wo are buried with |
hll In baptism Into death; that like rs
Christ WAS raised from the dead by the |
slo-y Of tho Father, even 50 we also should
walk in newness Of lfe."'
MIR. Wal ling said in part: "Why nm

Sunday II am an lmmersionist."
l. l'ccalse the word baptism from the |
Grccl bapt'hsln, means to immcrse, to
plunge and nothing else.
Ii Lam IN lmmerslUnst because history
shows that anything else was an innova-
ton What the Bihlo taught; What
lhrist did Is sufficient for Baptists though
