Background to Dunking

“The second part of baptism is the sign, or sacrament, which is that

immersion into water from this also it derives its name. For the Greek

baptizo means “I immerse,” and baptisma means “immersion.”

“Babylonian Captivity”

Luther and Dunking

For this reason I would have the candidates for baptism completely immersed in the water, as the word

says and as the sacrament signifies.


Luther and Dunking

Not that I deem this necessary, but it would be well to give to so perfect and complete a thing a perfect and

complete sign.

Thus it was also doubtless instituted by Christ.


Luther and Dunking

Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but

whoever does not believe will be condemned

Mark 16:16

Luther and Dunking

I want to encourage you to fight hard for the faith that God gave his holy people. God gave this faith once, and it is good for all time.

Taught

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make

her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the

word, Ephesians 5:25-26

and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. Ephesians 5:25-27

In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as

their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

Ephesians 5:28

After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as

Christ does the church— for we are members of

his body.Ephesians 5:29-30

“For this reason a man will leave his father and mother

and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” This is a

profound mystery—but I am talking

about Christ and the church.

Ephesians 5:31-32
