Baptism Is Integral To The Gospel!

• In an apostolic sermon it comes as its logical

  restore this note in our preaching.
• - George Beasley-Murray, Baptism In The New
  Testament

Baptism has been instituted that it should lead
us to the blessings (of this death) and through
such death to eternal life. Therefore it is
necessary that we should be baptized into Jesus
Christ and His death. - Martin
Luther, Commentary on Romans 6
