The Doctrine of Baptism: Mechanical or Spiritual?
1901
By W.HAY M.H.AITKEN. M.A

In this Anglican work, the author examines Baptism from the perspective of the anglican point of view. His position is that baptism is spiritual, and even the baptism of babies will save their souls if the correct words and actions are performed, even though the baby, parents, god-parents, and priest are all completely unbelieving and uninterested in the events.
