1 | baptism by emersion only? | Matt 3:16 | lionheart | 192856 | ||
Hoppy, What is the difference between a creedobaptist and a peadobaptist? What do the two groups believe? I'll agree with you repentance is a Requisit. The bible has never taught infant baptism and I think we both can agree on that. It's impossible for a baby to repent anyway. There are allot of arguments where age of accountability is. But if we read our bibles we get some pretty good clues. In jewish culture children had thier barmitzpha at twelve years old. While we cant etch that in stone now in terms of accountability. I think it sets the bar pretty well. We cant expect and we shouldn't babies, little kids or very young kids to comprehend repentance whats associated with it. But we we can train up and raise our children during these formulitive years and that time of accountability and understanding will arrive in due time. Good post, but what is your understanding based on what you've learned from the bible? I believe that if one makes the bible thier central focus then people can get on the same page. What say you my brother? In Him, lionheart |

Hi Lionheart, There certainly is a biblical arguement to made in defense of Paedobaptism! Under the Old Covenant, circumcision was God's sign that the children of Jewish parents were included as members of that covenant.These babes had no idea of why they were circumcised, but their parents did, and the parents were reponsible to obey God. Under the New Covenant, the sign of inclusion in the Body of Chist is baptism. The fact that these babes were incapable of expriencing Repentance does not exclude their membership in the Body of Christ. Keep in mind that repentance is a gift of God, not a work of man. Hoppy |

Hoppy, You may be correct, repentance may be a gift of God but it's some thing we all gotta do. You are right, repentance (Being able to) doesnt exclude babies from heaven. Is there any scriptural justification for infant baptism? Reference please. In Him, lionheart |

LIONHEART,you wrote: 1. "You may be correct, repentance may be a gift of God but it's some thing we all gotta do." There is no 'MAY BE" about it. The text is difinitive Acts 5:31 "He is the one whom God exalted to His right hand as a Prince and a Savior, to grant repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. 2 Acts 11:18 When they heard this, they quieted down and glorified God, saying, "Well then, God has granted to the Gentiles also the repentance that leads to life." 2 Tim 2:25 with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth... When I was new to the faith I believed that I had been saved in 1975. I now know that I was saved much earlier...Eph 1:4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love... An elect infant, one whom God has chosen, will repent according to God's appointed time. perhaps when he is quite young or much older. But he will repent. Its not a matter "gotta do" it's WILL DO. Paedobaptism is found in several Biblical texts: Read Acts 16:30-35 Happy Hoppy |

Hello Hoppy, Acts 16:30-35 does not teach paedobaptism. There is no way to conclusively demonstrate that there were small children or infants in the jailer's family. Steve |
