NASB | Psalm 51:5 ¶ Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Psalm 51:5 ¶ I was brought forth in [a state of] wickedness; In sin my mother conceived me [and from my beginning I, too, was sinful]. [John 3:6; Rom 5:12; Eph 2:3] |
Subject: inherit the sin of Adam |
Bible Note: Are infants condemned to hell as this teaching seems to suggest this. If original sin, and not actual sins committed from the age of reason, is the real problem, the answer would seem to be yes. This is why I believe in infant baptist: just as our first-father Adam condemned us all by his sin, our fathers, in their headship over us, incorporate us into the Christian covenant by their family decision. To suggest that original sin becomes culpable at the point when we reach the age of reason and commit an actual sin would be nonsense. (Scripture does not mention whether the many households who were "all" baptized included any infants.) |
