1 | Is infant baptism Biblical? | Bible general Archive 1 | orthodoxy | 5663 | ||
I fail to see how this is true. The Anabaptists were the first ones to rebaptise believers (hence their name, which means "to baptise again"). Other traditions took up the practice after contact with Anabaptists. But it is simply a historical fact that the church had always baptised its infants until the Anabaptists came along in the sixteenth century and the Baptists in the eighteenth. And most Baptist churches do not require rebaptism, they simply will not baptise infants themselves. As to soteriology, I stand by my statement. All it means is that my views on justification will not allow _me_ to support rebaptism. Since I obviously believe my soteriology to be generally correct, I believe that rebaptism is wrong. |

You said "my views on justification will not allow me to support rebaptism." What are your views based on? Scripture please. Do you know something Paul did not (Acts 19)? Jesus is Lord! |

John's baptism has never been considered Christian baptism. The believers here were not repbaptized in that sense. They were first baptized into John, then Christ. We were talking about something significantly different, namely, being baptized into Christ as an infant and then again as an adult. My views on justification are simply Scriptural. Romans is a just about the best book for talking about justification, but Galatians is good as well. Namely, justification is an act of God based solely upon the council of his own will and based in no part upon anything that we have done or will do. Rom. 3:24; 5:15-16; 8:30; Rom. 3:22-28; 4:5-8; 5:17-19; II Cor. 5:19, 21; Titus 3:5, 7; Eph. 1:7; Jer. 23:6; I Cor. 1:30-31; John 1:12; 6:44-45, 65; Acts 10:43; 13:38-39; Phil. 1:29; 3:9; Eph. 2:7-8 For passages specifically relating to baptism, see: Acts 2:41; 8:12-13; 16:14-15; Gen. 17:7-14; Gal. 3:9, 14; Col. 2:11-12; Acts 2:38-39; Rom. 4:11-12; Matt. 19:13; 28:19; Mark 10:13-16; Luke 18:15-17; I Cor. 7:14 |
