In this matter of baptism - if I may be pardoned for saying it— I can only conclude that all the doctors have been in error from the time of the apostles. . . . All the doctors have ascribed to the water a power which it does not have and the holy apostles did not teach.

--Huldrych Zwingli (1 January 1484 – 11 October 1531, a leader of the Reformation in Switzerland)
