its mode & subjects as opposed to the views of the anabaptists

Shall we obey the command of Christ as He intended or shall we obey the command in a way that pleases us? Thomas Withrow clears all controversy surrounding Baptism, founding his claims solely on Scripture. Baptism changes one's state from an alien to a citizen of God's kingdom, surrenders one's life to faith and obedience, and opens the gates of Heaven. Imagine not doing it as per the instructions Christ gave. Withrow discusses two topics in this small book, the methods of baptism and its subjects. First he elaborates on immersion, pouring, and sprinkling, then he states whether baptism should be performed on infants or adult believers. He's organized in his thoughts, and he lays the facts of both sides of the dispute before he affirms a definitive conclusion, giving the readers space to think and decide for themselves. "It shall be our business to set before the reader the essential facts of the case, to bring out clearly the points of agreement and of difference, and to exhibit the evidence so as to enable each man to judge for himself what the Scripture really testifies on the matter."
