In this book, Farel wrote, "since I stand in your grace through this faith, I can no longer sin." Equally awkward was the social-revolutionary emphasis evident in Farel's open affirmation of community of goods: "I believe that in this Christian community all things should be held in common and that no one possesses anything of his own." (122) On September 7, 1527, in a long letter to Noel Galiot, Farel also affirmed a delayed baptism, albeit without demanding that infant baptism be eliminated.(123) Farel's teaching on baptism in the first edition of his main work, Sommaire, that appeared in 1529, was quite similar to that of Grebes and to that of Zwingli's prior to 1525, (124) coming very close to a view of baptism upon confession of faith.
