Baptism


I cannot seem to get away from this topic, so I'm going to embrace it and write a bit on it, here. This is my attempt to seriously begin blogging again. Why not make it about something I'm passionate about?

I was reading a blog post by a friend who blogs and whose blog I've gotten a little involved in. I guess I hope that as iron sharpens iron, maybe a rock could sharpen iron, too. Who knows.

Anyways, HERE is his post on Baptism.
Also - HERE is a defense of Infant Baptism by an old professor of mine, Dr. Mark Quanstrom.
And - HERE is a defense of Infant Dedication over against Baptism from another professor of mine - Dr. Carl Leth.

I've not held back, in many places, about defending both Infant Baptism as well as Baptism as the "normative means of God's saving and regenerating Grace." So, I thought maybe I should give an argument for it, and provide you, the reader, with the resources for understanding why the Church has practiced the way it has for nearly 2,000 years.
