Subject: Is infant baptism Biblical? |
Bible Note: 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. |
