“Baptism is a most solemn renunciation of the world. Those who are
baptized in the threefold name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, at
the very entrance of their Christian life declare publicly that they have
forsaken the service of Satan and have become members of the royal family,
children of the heavenly King. They have obeyed the command: ‘Come out
from among them, and be ye separate, . . . and touch not the unclean thing.’
