Subject: Is infant baptism Biblical? |
Bible Note: The largest Protestant denomination in the United States, to which I belong, not only holds that baptism is for believers only, but frequently engages in re-baptism. There are others, the Church of Christ for example. You say your view is that re-baptism is not only unnecessary but sinful. If that is your view, so be it. But you claim it is shared by the historical tradtion of everyone but the Anabaptists. From what source did you gather your data for this statement?....You say (speaking of the Anabaptists) to Nolan Keck, "You have chosen a singularly difficult tradition." Why is it so difficult? And for whom is it difficult? For yourself? Perhaps it is not viewed as difficult at all by Nolan Keck And I would hope that he is sufficiently well-rooted in his faith that he will not be daunted by remarks that hardly could be viewed as encouraging to a fine young man. --Hank |
