And, Tit. 3:5, 6, Which he shed on us abundantly. And, Eze. 36:25, I will sprinkle clean water upon you. And, Isa. 52:15, So shall he sprinkle many nations; which seems a prophecy of this commission to baptize the nations.}}

===John Wesley (1703-91)===
John Wesley was a Church of England cleric and Christian theologian. Wesley is largely credited, along with his brother Charles Wesley, as founding the Methodist movement. He embraced the Arminian doctrines that were dominant in the 18th-century Church of England. Wesley's writing and preachings provided the seeds for both the modern Methodist movement and the Holiness movement. Methodism in both forms was a highly successful evangelical movement in the United Kingdom, which encouraged people to experience Jesus Christ personally. His written sermons are doctrinal but not dogmatic. Both the ''Sermons'' (about 140) and his ''Notes on the New Testament'' (1755) are doctrinal standards.
[https://biblehub.com/commentaries/wes/matthew/28.htm '''Wesley's Notes on the Bible''' (Mt 28:19)]{{quotation|28:19 Disciple all nations - Make them my disciples. This includes the whole design of Christ's commission. Baptizing and teaching are the two great branches of that general design. And these were to be determined by the circumstances of things; which made it necessary in baptizing adult Jews or heathens, to teach them before they were baptized; in discipling their children, to baptize them before they were taught; as the Jewish children in all ages were first circumcised, and after taught to do all God had commanded them. Mark 16:15.}}

The μαθητεύειν consists of two parts—the ''initiatory'', admissory ''rite'', and the ''subsequent teaching''. It is much to be regretted that the rendering of μαθ. ''‘teach,’'' has in our Bibles clouded the meaning of these important words. It will be observed that in our Lord’s words, as in the Church, the process of ordinary discipleship is ''from baptism to instruction''—i.e. is, ''admission in infancy to the covenant'', and ''growing up into'' τηρεῖς πάντα κ.τ.λ.—the ''exception'' being, what circumstances rendered so frequent in the early Church, ''instruction before baptism'', in the case of ''adults''. On this we may also remark, that baptism as known to the Jews included, just as it does in the Acts (ch. 16:15, 33) ''whole households—wives and children''. (<small>''italics in original''</small>)}}
