1 | Isn't Baptism neccessary for salvation?? | Rom 10:9 | disciplerami | 73688 | ||
From Church Manual Designed For The Use Of Baptist Churches, by J.M. Pendleton (Philadelphia: Judson Press, 1955). In a segment which addresses the “subjects” who are appropriate candidates for baptism, Pendleton was attempting to explain why baptism may not be administered in the case of infants. In a consideration of Acts 2:38, he wrote: “The gospel was preached, the people were pierced to the heart, and cried out, ‘Men and brethren, what shall we do?’ Peter replied, ‘Repent, and be baptized every one of you.’ No man will say that the command ‘Repent,’ is applicable to infants, and it is certain the same persons [emp. added here] were called on to repent and be baptized (p. 84). Pendleton’s concession completely devastates the argument of his Baptist colleagues. The same people called on to repent also understood they had to be baptized. Repentance and baptism are not works of merit, but works of faith. At baptism, done in faith, you are washed by the blood of Christ. As a baptized believer, I know the exact moment my God cleansed my soul. Praise the Lord! |

Greetings Disciplerami! I appreciate the input, but I'm not as to the relevance! :-) This information doesn't address any of the grammatical points I raised in the post to which you responded! Perhaps you can clarify! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
