James P. Boyce on Alien Baptism

     "As to those of us who oppose the reception of alien immersions, we certainly ought to be satisfied when the number of professors of our views in the Seminary is greater in proportion to the ones understood to hold a contrary opinion"

     Boyce was strongly opposed to receiving alien {non-Baptist} immersions and was glad that a majority of the professors at Southern Seminary agreed with this view. The above quote is from T. A. Patterson's 1944 dissertation "The Theology of J. R. Graves and Its Influence on Southern Baptist Life", page 204.
