MrHappyface, Consider The Fall. It was our original parents that sinned against God. Nevertheless God Almighty decreed that their children, throughout the ages were cursed from birth with a carnal nature! Please explain. Thanks, Hopalong |

185 | Can MY faith in Christ save me? | Eph 2:8 | hopalong | 193068 | ||
" it is inaccurate to suggest that God gives men a special gift of faith so that they may be saved and subsequently sanctified. Instead, God has sent His Holy Spirit into the world to convict men of sin and to enlighten darkened and depraved minds to the saving truths contained in Scripture (John 16:8; Rom 10:17; Eph 3:9). When one is regenerated, it is yieldedness to the filling ministry of the Holy Spirit, not infused faith, that results in good works. From Ephesians 2:8 and the collective whole of NT data, God is presented as the gracious initiator who, through His Holy Spirit, woos and wins men to Himself. Man is depicted as the responder who, in his spiritually destitute state, is convicted and enlightened by the Holy Spirit, and answers in simple faith to the promises of the Gospel. In view of such exquisite grace, it is only fitting to contend that salvation is a superlative expression of divine favor, yea, even a gift of God!" Gary L. Nebeker |

Hi Doc, I simply was,in my own poor way, attempting to show that neither position falls short of Biblical justification. To some, sprinkling and infant baptism borders on heresy. I hope my posts will disuade them from such an extreme opinion. In Him, Hoppy and Family |

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 |

Hi Doc, Jesus coming up out of the water does not neccesarily mean that He had been under the water. Your conclusion steikes me as bein based on a presupposition rather than the texts themselves. Brother Hopalong |

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 |

OOPS! I posted an objection rather than a defense of my position. Thats what I get for posting when exhausted. I'll try again to defend sprinkling as being Biblical when my 61 year old brain has rested a bit Hoppy |

Ligon Duncan opines "In response to my post setting forth some arguments for paedobaptism, my friend Ligon Duncan (pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Jackson and PCA moderator) weighs in on the baptism debate, offering his more simplified defense of the paedobaptist position: 1. God, in both the Old and New Testaments, explicitly makes a promise to believers and to their children (Genesis 17:7; Acts 2:39). 2. God, in both the Old and New Testaments, explicitly attaches specific signs (respectively, circumcision [Genesis 17:10] and baptism [Acts 2:38, cf. Colossians 2:11-12], to this promise that he gives to believers and their children. 3. Therefore, since God has given an explicit promise to believers and their children, in the New Testament, and attached a sign to this promise, and enjoined us (in the new covenant) to administer that sign [baptism, Matthew 28:19-20], then we should give the sign of the promise he has made to believers and their children, to believers and their children, in humble obedience to biblical command and example. QED. As I mentioned, I'll try to set forth in a future blog post some reasons why credobaptists don't find the paeodbaptist position convincing, but perhaps I could make just one observation here. Note in Dr. Duncan's presentation the importance of Acts 2:38-39. As a credobaptist, I think that Peter's command and promise says more than the paedobaptists want it to say. It reads: 38 And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” Note the portion I've italicized. "You," "your children," and "all who are far off" are all on the same level. In other words, (1) the condition and the command (repent and be baptized) as well as (2) the promise (you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit) are designed not only for you and your kids, but also for all people. No matter who you are or what your age, if you repent of your sins you receive the Holy Spirit. I think this opens the door to very young baptisms, but the qualifier of repentance seems to be to preclude infants. I gather some of you, however, would disagree!" Hoppy |

Larry, You are no better or worse than anyone else. We all sin EVERY DAY! The only reason that we can live with oirselves is because we trust that Jesus bore our sins for us. and that one day, when we meet Him face to face, He will make us to be just like Himself. DO NOT look to yourself for affirmation of your salvation. Rather look to Jesus and thank Him for saving you from your sins (past, present and future. Keep the Faith, Hoppy |

Rom 9:18-19 So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires. You will say to me then, "Why does He still find fault? For who resists His will?" The implication is that no creature can resist God's will. Hoppy |
