Luther on "Believer's Baptism" (Galatians commentary)

      I am aware of smaller Baptist congregations that still apparently want to retain Biblical teaching.  I highlighted one of them last year.  For this they may be commended, and they should be reminded over and over that this only proves what Walther said, that

"All of the sects, which have separated from the papacy, were originally Lutheran Churches"

But these Baptists have only made a certainty uncertain.  How so?  As I was researching Luther's writings on the book of Galatians, a work famous even among the Reformed, I ran across a paragraph that succinctly identifies the problem with these "Baptists" and most of the Reformed, or so-called "Evangelicals", today.  From CPH's Luther's Works, volume 27, p. 148, "Luther's Preface [to Galatians commentary] of 1535", page 148 (bolding, highlighting are mine):

The papists and the Anabaptists are harmoniously agreed today on this one proposition, over against the church of God, despite their verbal pretenses: namely, that a work of God is dependent on the worthiness of man. For this is what the Anabaptists teach: “Baptism is nothing unless a person is a believer.” [i.e. "Believer's Baptism"] On the basis of this principle, as it is called, it necessarily follows that none of the works of God are anything if a man is not good. Now Baptism is a work of God, but an evil man can make it not a work of God.

So Luther plainly states that "Believer's Baptism", a common practice among most of the Reformed camp, is the work of an "evil man" who has made a work of God "not a work of God".  So the Baptists who teach "Believer's Baptism", are actually what Luther calls "Anabaptists", those "evil men" who of God's Baptism "make it not a work of God".  Luther could not be more plain than what he states in this paragraph on "Believer's Baptism." — Luther's famous Galatians commentary is about to be given a new way to be read in an upcoming blog post.
