早期教會如何實行洗禮?

Didache《十二使徒遺訓》(希臘語: “Teaching”),又被稱為 “十二使徒的教導” (Teaching of the Twelve Apostles),是現存最早的基督教教會規範手冊 (church order),可能在 埃及敘利亞 成書於 第一世紀末 或 第二世紀初 (dated by modern scholars to the first or (less commonly) second century AD);作者不詳;共十六章,分為三部分。

根據記載,洗禮可以通過完全浸入一條河中或其他 “活水” 中進行,或者只需將水倒在頭上三遍即可。 兩種形式都是有效的,並視情況而定。“按這裡的推論,初期教會是施行浸禮的,但也容許澆灌。這兩種洗禮方式,早於第二世紀已經存在了。”

 

《十二使徒遺訓,第七章,洗禮》
“關於洗禮,要這樣施洗:事先解釋完這些之後,就在活水裡,奉父、子、聖靈的名施洗。但如果你沒有活水,就施洗在別的水裡;如果你不能用冷水,就用暖水。但如果你兩樣都沒有,就奉父、子、聖靈的名,把水三次倒在頭上。但在洗禮之前,讓施洗的人、受洗的人、以及其他人一同禁食;然而你要命令那受洗的人禁食一兩天。”

“And concerning baptism, baptize this way: Having first said all these things, baptize into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, in living water. But if you have not living water, baptize into other water; and if you can not in cold, in warm. But if you have not either, pour out water thrice upon the head into the name of Father and Son and Holy Spirit. But before the baptism let the baptizer fast, and the baptized, and whatever others can; but you shall order the baptized to fast one or two days before.” (Didache, Chapter 7, Concerning Baptism)

Jan Hus 約翰·胡斯

The Voice of the Martyrs
On this day in 1415, theologian and reformer Jan Hus was martyred. His accusers made it clear at his trial that Hus would not only die, but that they planned for him to die without hope. “We take from you the cup of redemption,” the prosecutors solemnly intoned before sentencing him. But Hus replied, “I trust in the Lord God almighty … that He will not take away from me the cup of His redemption, but I firmly hope to drink from it today in His kingdom.”

1415年七月六日,神學改革家 Jan Hus (約翰· 胡斯) 殉道。控告他的人們在他受審理的時候就明確地表示他不僅會死,而且他們要讓他死得沒有指望。檢察官們在宣判之前嚴肅地對他說:”我們把救贖的杯從你撤去。” 但胡斯的回答是:”我相信主—全能的上帝…祂不會從我手中奪走祂的救贖之杯,而且我堅定地期待今日在祂的國里喝這杯。”
