E.G.W. to our Ministers SERIES: #14 [Conducting a Baptism]

Conducting a Baptism
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Matthew 28:19

"When the ordinance of baptism is adminis­tered, the candidates for baptism should be provided with robes appropriate for the occa­sion. They should be well-shaped garments, and made of suitable material. The best of order should be preserved, and nothing clumsy or uncouth should be seen in this holy ordi­nance.

The administrator should make this an occasion of solemn,
sacred influence upon those who are looking on,
that it should have an elevating effect upon those who witness it,
and not be placed on a level with common things."
Ellen G. White, in Review and Herald, March 5, 1895
