1. Note: we refer to supernatural gifts and demonstrations. We recognize, of course, that miracles are being performed all about us constantly, but while God, for example, may miraculously heal the sick, according to His will, He does not use "divine healers" to accomplish this, nor have we the right to claim physical health in the present dispensation. As one has said: "Despite the 'divine healers,' the death rate is still one apiece!"

2. See the author's booklet entitled: "Water Baptism: Is It Included In God's Program For Today?"

3. Under the Mosaic law the priests and those ceremonially "unclean" were both washed, or baptized. Thus under the kingdom program the Jews and the "unclean" Gentiles alike had to be baptized (Matt. 28:19).

4. Those who speak of "Christian baptism" beginning at Pentecost under the "great commission," should carefully note this fact. At a public debate on this subject we once produced six books and booklets by prominent Fundamentalists, upholding their baptism theories, in which they had quoted Acts 2:38, but had omitted the words "for the remission of sins."

5. Fundamentalists who claim to be carrying out the "great commission" generally interpret this to mean: "He that believeth and is saved ought to be baptized." It can only be said in this connection that those who thus handle so plain a statement from God's Word may also "interpret" other passages to mean what they do not say. Modernism and the cults have already gone down this road.
