Synopsis

The Scripture Guide To Baptism: Containing A Faithful Citation Of All The Passages Of The New Testament Which Relate To This Ordinance, With Explanatory Observations And Attended By Numerous Extracts From Eminent Writers ; With An Appendix by Richard Pengilly. The Scripture Guide To Baptism is a 19th-century tract that compiles and analyzes every New Testament passage related to baptism, organized into three chapters covering the Gospels, Acts, and the Epistles, with an Appendix of polemical notes. Richard Pengilly, a Baptist minister, assembles scriptural citations and explanatory observations to argue that baptism should be administered to believers only and by immersion, not to infants. The work surveys John's ministry, Jesus's baptism and the Great Commission, and baptismal practices in the early church, weighing evidence for modes, subjects, and spiritual design. It also engages with Protestant Pedobaptist writers and patristic authorities, often quoting them at length to illustrate arguments for infant baptism and its opposition. The Appendix presents questions and counterarguments, offering a rigorous defense of credobaptism and a caution against altering Christ's ordinances. Overall, the volume serves as a reference concordance and polemical synthesis for readers seeking a biblically grounded stance on baptism.
