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