    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    You are missing punctuation. It is a three part command. 1. “Go and make disciples of all people” 2. “baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit“ 3. “and teaching them to observe all things” How does one “go and make” a disciple? (then we can discuss how to baptize a...

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    That is not “this promise”, rather “this promise” is ... "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” [Act 2:38 NASB] Remember that “this promise” is also “for all who are far off, as many...

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    Then baptize pets. There is no specific, verbatim prohibition that says “thou shall not baptize pets”. As for me and my house, we will just stick to doing what God has actually commanded that we should do ... “Repent and be baptized“ (Acts 2) & “Confess and believe” (Romans 10) ... and we will...

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    I did not stress the future tense. Any capitalization was in the NASB text (indicating a quote). I stressed “call” (which infants do not). The future tense is tied to the rest of the verses in the paragraph. It was in the future, because the point being made was that they had not even heard...

    So do I. As I have repeatedly stated, the question is not what CAN God do, but what does God say that He DOES do. Does God save those that call on His name? ... God says He does. Does God save those who repent and are baptized? ... God says He does. Does God save those that Confess and Believe...

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    Sorry, but you addressed the post to Particular, but quoted ATPOLLARD throughout. Yes, I am Particular returned under a different name ... and I used my DeLorean to travel back in time and create an account even older than the original account. I am diabolical that way. 👹

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    The Greek word translated “baptize” means to immerse. So the question is like asking me if someone HAS to be nailed to a cross to be Crucified ... the answer is “YES” because the word Crucify means to nail to a cross. You can argue that the Cross can be shaped like a “T” or a “t” or an “X” but...

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    True. However this ... Romans 10:13-14 NASB] 13 for "WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED." 14 How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher? ... does state...

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    True, but ... [Romans 10:8-10 NASB] 8 But what does it say? "THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART"--that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, 9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus [as] Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be...

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    “Repent and baptize, repent and baptize They go together like a horse and carriage This I tell you, brother You can't have one without the other” (sung to the tune of “Love and marriage”) Why do you baptize without repentance? “and” never means “without”

    Where have I made that demand? Please point out the post. Where have I stated those 3 Anabaptist traditions? Please point out the post. I think you have confused me with someone else.

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    Not MY apologetic. It may destroy what you claim is the apologetic of a bunch of 16th Century wackadoodles (I think that is how you describe them). Credobaptists just think that people should BOTH repent and be baptized (like Peter said) if they want to be saved. Baptizing infants that have...

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    Not really. God CAN do anything, so that is not the issue. The questions that need to be asked are “What does God say that He DOES do?” and “What does God command us TO do?” Nowhere does God say that he will save babies if we sprinkle them with water. God does command us to REPENT and CONFESS...

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    Child, not infant. Try reading what it actually says rather than what you want it to say. We prevent no one from COMING to Jesus, we just CARRY AND SPRINKLE no one against their will. Can Catholics say the same?

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    I have to snicker at this for several reasons. (but first let me say that I liked your post and agree.) 1. You were baptized as an infant, and apparently God did eventually save you. ;) I went through something similar where I was baptized at a Lutheran Church to prevent a fight with the...

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    Peter said AND. Peter did not say OR. Credobaptism teaches “repent” AND “be baptized” and you will be saved. Paedobaptism teaches “be baptized” and you are saved.

    This ... ... comes very close to claiming that it must be true because: 1. it is widely held (appeal to authority fallacy). 2. Embraced for most of history (appeal to authority fallacy). There are many widely held views that are false. There are many views held for most of history that are...
