12. That the old baptism should cease,
and a new one should begin.
In Isaiah: “Therefore remember ye not
the former things, neither reconsider the ancient things. Behold,
I make new the things which shall now arise, and ye shall know it; and
I will make in the desert a way, and rivers in a dry place, to give
drink to my chosen race, my people whom I acquired, that they should
show forth my praises.”3868
In the same also:
“If they thirst, He will lead them through the deserts; He will
bring forth water from the rock; the rock shall be cloven, and the
water shall flow: and my people shall drink.”3869
Moreover, in the Gospel according to Matthew, John says: “I
indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but He that cometh
after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear; He
shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire.”3870
Also
according to John: “Except a man be born of water, and of
the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. For that
which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the
Spirit is spirit.”3871
