--Joe!, I don't think there is any doubt even within the quote you posted that Calvin believed baptism was for the forgiveness of sins. Calvin believed as I do that the power was not in the water but in God. I do not disagree that he had it wrong when it comes to sprinkling and baptizing infants. You can classify me as a Biblicist. sniper |

"I don't think there is any doubt even within the quote you posted that Calvin believed baptism was for the forgiveness of sins." If you think that Calvin believed that someone was not saved until baptized, there is indeed a great deal of doubt. You may choose to believe as you will, but please do not mischaracterize the theology of others to make them agree with you when they did not. "Calvin believed as I do that the power was not in the water but in God." But you believe justification does not occur until baptism. Re-read Calvin's understanding of Ananias and Saul. He clearly considered Saul to be forgiven prior to "washing away his sins." Whether Calvin was right or wrong, it is a matter of fact that such was his belief. --Joe! |
