    In the structure of this rite (details of which varied from church to church), it is easy to discern the lineaments of the Lucan sequence of repentance, baptism, and laying-on of hands (though neither Tertullian nor Hippolytus is at any pains, as Luke apparently was, to separate the gift of the Spirit from the baptism proper).
