Action of the one baptism

“It is altogether probable that the
apostle in this place had allusion to
the custom of baptizing by
immersion. This cannot, indeed, be
proved, so as to be liable to no
objection; but I presume that this is
the idea which would strike the great
mass of unprejudiced readers.”
