Water. Spirit. Blood.

           Baptism is a ritual that serves as a  public confession of faith.  It is symbolic of their rebirth in Christ. Hubmaier depicts  the three distinct baptisms: water, Spirit, and blood. I found it interesting how he depicts the significance of each. And, he makes a separation between baby dedication and baptism. I truly appreciate this because it contradicts the theology that you are saved by your baby dedication.  Hubmaier also places emphasis on spiritual baptism saying that it should occur subsequent to the water baptism.
