Believers only, on profession of faith

THE POSITION

Believer's baptism by immersion.

WHY THERE IS NO QUOTATIONNo quotations, and copyright is not the reason: this map quotes MacArthur, Heiser and Sproul at length, all modern authors in copyright. No primary-source pass has been run on him and nothing in this repo records one. The summaries here restate the stance rather than paraphrase a source, and the millennium cell says outright that it is not known with confidence. These nine stay at established and unknown until someone reads him.
