| | EIPS - Extreme Unction |
 | | EXTREME UNCTION is one of the sacraments of Rome, and as such, is held to "confer grace on the receiver;" it is therefore placed on the same level with the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, Baptism, and Confirmation. |
 | | But let us now look carefully to the matter of Extreme Unction; the use of oil for the purposes of personal unction, was, and still is, common in the East, and like the kiss of charity, washing the saints' feet, and some other things, it was mixed up with the proceedings of the Primitive Christians. |
 | | That doctrine, apparently to the superficial reader, as stated by James, was opposed to the grace of the Gospel, and, therefore, abused by the Romanists; a fact from which, with characteristic decision, zeal, and impetuosity, Luther was led to question the inspiration of the Apostle James. |
