then from this it follows that the baptism of the Spirit , or the baptism by which the Saints were saved , was not properly called Baptism ; and this would charge the Apostles with speaking improperly , or falsly , when they spoke of the Baptism by which they were saved , or of their being all baptised by one Spirit into one Body And thus this said Baptist's falshood and folly appears , who here also counteth the one Baptism spoken of in Eph. 4. the Baptism of water ; and so hath shut out the baptism of the Spirit , as not properly called Baptism , and Idollatrously hath set water baptism above it ; when as the baptism of the Spirit was that which water baptism did but shadow or figure forth ; for by one Spirit were the Saints baptised into the body of Christ , which the baptism of outward water doth not baptise any into ; for such as uphold water baptism now are in the strife , and much in devision , when as they who are baptised into the body of Christ are in unity . The Major proposition of this Argument is false , as the baptism of water is intended in it to be in force , as long as teaching ; for teaching was of force , where that baptism was not , as Paul was a witness ; who was sent to the one , not to the other ; also Teaching is of force to many who are not plunged in outward water , and by true teaching are converted to Christ , when there is no stresse for Salvation upon water baptism , neither is it of necessity to Salvation , as S. B : hath confessed : And where he concludes that baptism , and all the rest of the Appointments of Christ , are in force , and to continue to the end of the World , and for proof saith , that the Scripture saith expressly they are to continue to the end of the world , and quotes Matth. 28. and 20.
