The Baptism Debate!

Check out an interesting discussion on infant baptism on Nathan Pitchford’s blog, Pitchford’s Ramblings. The original post is detailed and lengthy, yet nothing compared to the ongoing discussion!

A little background: this is primarily a discussion between friends who all went to the same fundamentalist Bible college. Two of them are leaning toward infant baptism and are attending Presbyterian churches, I believe. The other is the one who posted in defense of credo-baptism (believer’s baptism). Due to some of the discussion, though, he is now seriously reevaluating his position. I included a post, and plan to contribute more, after my brother Dave weighs in on the topic. Having a respect for covenant theology really changes one’s ideas about the debate of credo- vs. paedo- baptism. One realizes that proponents of infant baptism are not disrespecting Scripture, but upholding it from their view.

I encourage you to contribute, if you have anything constructive to add to the discussion.
