This passage has lodged in the creed in the phrase: "He descended into hell." He did not mean the mere outward act of baptism. Christ died once and for all for sins. Here again we have a scripture of the Old Testament applied; and this has often been, and still is to this day, exceedingly misunderstood; as if the persons here spoken of must be Gentiles because they are called the strangers of the dispersion.
