WISE .\BOVE THAT "HICH IS WIUTTEX.

Somo .mistaken preacher, aM would·be. teachers claim to h.'l.\·o a reY­elntion from the Holy Spirit that w~ er baptism and the Lord's Supper are not to be obe~f\'ed any more. Now to the word anci to the testimony. If they speak not according to this word, it is becau.r.e there is no light in them. . -Isa.8:20. "All scripture is "i\"en by inspiration and is profitable for doc· trine. (or reproof, (or correction. fOl' instruction in righteoU8llesll, that tAe man of God may be perfect, thorough· ly furnished unto aU good works,"-2 Tim. 3:16-17.

,Jesus ('ommanded his disciples to make disciples of all nations, "baptil;­ing them in the nanle of the Father, Soli alld Holy Ghost., tenching thelXl to observe all things whatsoever l h""e commanded you,"-MaL 28:19-20. Then on the day of Pentecost, Peter. true to this order, said to t1M! Jews. "Repent everyone of you and be baptized in the nanle of the Lord Jes uli Christ for the remission of sins and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost,"-Act 2:3.

Philip went down to Samaria and preached Christ uato them and they were baptized in the name of the Lonl J esus. Later Peter and John came down and laid hands on theul aM prayed and they receive<! the Roly Ghost-Acta 8:12_16.

When tha Holy Spirit fell on the household of ComeliulS Peter said, "Who can forbid the water that these should not be baptized, seeing they bave reeeived the Holy Ghost as weH as we," Acts 10:47. Once more Paul at Ephesus found some disciples WHO had not been baptized in Jesus name; but unto John's baptism only. So Paul baptized thrm in the name of the Lord Jesus; tben laid hande on then and pr.ayoo for tn ... 11I lUld tht')· re ceived the Uoly Spirit and spake in other tongue, and prophes.ied,-Act.J!; 19:1·6.

These passages forever settle t\VO points: First, That the baptism ill the Holy Spirit does not take the place of baptism in water. Second. That water baptism was administere4 by the apostles after PentecosL

The Lord'S Suppcr. Paul administered the Lord's Sup­

pcf to the ('hurch at Corinth, and said, "Keep the ordinances as I delh'eroli them unto you."-1 Cor. 11 :2. and SlI)'e he received it of th~ Lonl, \'erse 23. Then added. "As often ns )'e eat this bread and drink this cup, ye do show (proclllim) the Lord's death till He comes," Verse 26. So it is to be obsen'ed "till the Lord comes again." The expression ill Col. 2:14, "Uand ..... riting of ordinances," does not ani CRmlot refer to water baptism or the Lord's Supper: for P:l.ul under the in­spiration of the Holy Spirit had hiOl' selr directed the Corinthian church to obsen'e it and ~buked them for not observing in the right gpirit and 1ll.Il.a­
