The Greek church, in all its branches,—whether in the frozen regions of Siberia, or in the torrid zone,—practise trine immersion. All Pedobaptists require of adults, who seek for baptism, a personal profession of their faith, and so far agree with the Baptists. They also, with the Baptists, allow immersion to be valid baptism; but, in opposition to them, the Baptists deny that any other mode of administering this rite is valid. (See Exod. 14:22. Isa. 44:3. Matt. 3:11; 19:13. Mark 7:4. Acts 2:39; 19:2, 5. Rom. 4:11; 11:17. 1 Cor. 7:14; 10:2. Eph. chap. 2. Heb. 9:10, 13, 14.) The term _Pedobaptist_ is derived from two Greek words—_pais_, a child, and _baptismos_, baptism. This mode of baptism is practised by nearly the whole Christian world, except the Baptists and Friends. ANTI-PEDOBAPTISTS. A name given to those who object to the baptism of infants. The word is derived from the Greek words signifying _against_, _a child_, and _I baptize_. UNITARIANS. Those Christians who are usually designated by this name in the United States, and who are also called _Liberal Christians_, are mostly Congregationalists, and are found principally in New England. They acknowledge no other rule of faith and practice than the holy Scriptures, which they consider it the duty of every man to search for himself, prayerfully, and with the best exercise of his understanding. They reject all creeds of human device, as generally unjust to the truth of God and the mind of man, tending to produce exclusiveness, bigotry, and divisions, and at best of doubtful value. They regard, however, with favor the earliest creed on record, commonly called the Apostles’, as approaching nearest to the simplicity of the gospel, and as imbodying the grand points of the Christian faith. They adopt the words of St. Paul, (1 Cor. 8:6,) “_To us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him._” They make great account of the doctrine of God’s paternal character and government, and continually set it forward as the richest source of consolation, and the most powerful motive to repentance and improvement. Receiving and trusting in Christ as their Lord, Teacher, Mediator, Intercessor, Savior, they hold in less esteem than many other sects, nice theological questions and speculations concerning his precise rank, and the nature of his relation to God. They feel that by honoring him as _the Son of God_, they honor him as he desired to be honored; and that by obeying and imitating him, they in the best manner show their love. They believe that the Holy Ghost is not a distinct person in the Godhead, but that _power of God_, that _divine influence_, by which Christianity was established through miraculous aids, and by which its spirit is still shed abroad in the hearts of men.
