The Christian System, 53. 231 ORIGIN AND EARLY HISTORY is 'repentance unto life/ or what is truly called reformation. Such is the force of the command, * Repent, every one of you. ' It is not merely, Be sorry for what you have done wrong; nor is it, Resolve to do better; nor even try to amend your ways; but it is actual amendment of life from the views and the motives which the gospel of Christ exhibits. Gospel repentance is the offspring of gospel light and gospel motive, and therefore, it is ...the effect, and not the cause, of belief of the testimony of God. ''" Immersion as the only Scriptural form of bap- tism is still one of the distinguishing tenets of the Disciples of Christ, and by them it is inseparably connected with the remission of sins. The impor- tance Alexander Campbell attached to this subject was thus brought out in his debate with W. L. MacCalla : **I will first merely refer to the oracles of God which shew, that baptism is an ordinance of the greatest impor- tance, and of momentous significance.
