VI.17,
Commentary on the Gospel of John, Philocalia [anthology of
Origen prepared by St. Basil and St. Gregory Nazianzen],
Origen. (c.230) |
| From the
Geneva Notes.
 | "To be baptized into
John's baptism is to profess the doctrine which John preached and to be
identified with his baptism." |
|
| From
Matthew
Henry's Commentary.
| "Though we do not now
expect miraculous powers, yet all who profess to be disciples of Christ,
should be called on to examine whether they have received the seal of
the Holy Ghost, in his sanctifying influences, to the sincerity of their
faith." |

Marks of Having
Received the Holy Ghost (Acts 19:2): sermon by George
Whitefield.
| "The blessed Jesus, as
he received the Holy Ghost without measure, so he evidenced it by
nothing more, than his frequent addresses at the throne of grace." |
|
| From
Wesley's Notes.
| "They were baptized
twice; but not with the same baptism. John did not administer that
baptism which Christ afterward commanded, that is, in the name of the
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost." |
|
| From the
Commentary on the Whole Bible
(Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
| "The point of contrast
is not between John and Christ personally, but between the water
baptism of John unto repentance, and the promised baptism of the
Spirit from the hands of his coming Master unto new life." |
|
| From The People's
New Testament, B.W. Johnson, 1891.
| "The example of these
men shows that if a baptism is imperfect, from an ignorance of Christ's
will, it is not wrong to correct the defect by a more perfect obedience." |

| Contemporary Commentary, Studies, and Exegesis:
|
Commentary,
Acts 19:1-7, Arland J. Hultgren, Preaching This Week, WorkingPreacher.org, 2009.
|
"A sermon cannot
do everything, but as a congregation celebrates the Baptism of Our
Lord, it is an opportunity for the preacher to speak about the many
levels of baptism. One can teach, not only about its obligations (as
above), but also about baptism's significance as an event where we
are incorporated into Christ and, consequently, share his destiny." |

"First
Thoughts on Passages on Year B Epistle Passages in the Lectionary:
Baptism of Jesus," William
Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in Australia.
| "Clearly for Luke baptism is also about
much more than individual experiences. It is about to a radical extension
of doing and being good, or better, embodying God's goodness and justice
in the world." |

in the Blank (Acts 18:18 - 19:7)" by Robert Deffinbaugh at the
Biblical Studies Foundation.
| "I believe that
Paul’s question about their reception of the Holy Spirit at the time
they believed was intended to determine whether or not they had come to
faith in Jesus as their Messiah." |
