III.XXII.7, 15,
Adversus Haereses,
Irenaeus
of Lyons. (c. 180) |
| From the Geneva Notes.
 | "The Spirit of God seals that
in the heart of the hearers which the minister of the word speaks by
the commandment of God, as is evident by the results." |
|
| From
Matthew
Henry's Commentary.
| "The Holy Ghost fell upon
those who were neither circumcised nor baptized; it is the Spirit
that quickeneth, the flesh profiteth nothing." |
|
| From
Wesley's
Notes.
| "He does not say they have the
baptism of the Spirit; therefore they do not need baptism with
water. But just the contrary: if they have received the Spirit, then
baptize them with water. How easily is this question decided, if we
will take the word of God for our rule! Either men have received the
Holy Ghost or not. If they have not, Repent, saith God, and be
baptized, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. If they
have, if they are already baptized with the Holy Ghost, then who can
forbid water?" |
|
| From the
Commentary on the Whole Bible
(Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
| "Having the living
discipleship imparted to them and visibly stamped upon them, what
objection can there be to admitting them, by the seal of baptism,
into the full fellowship of the Church?" |
|
| From The People's New
Testament, B.W. Johnson, 1891.
| "Peter's scruples were
overcome. He was now satisfied that the gospel was for Gentiles as
well as Jews." |

| "One of the great barriers to
the proclamation of the gospel today, as in the days of the New
Testament church, is racial prejudice. That was the problem with
Israel, as personified in the prophet Jonah. That is still the
problem today." |

travelers or strangers into one’s home and establishing
relationships with them—becomes the prism through which Jesus’
disciples can view one another and others as valuable children of
God." |
