Synopsis

This book examines the biblical and historical arguments for infant baptism, challenging the notion that it is a biblical practice. The author, an expert in Christian history, explores the origins of infant baptism in the Catholic Church and traces its development through the Protestant Reformation. Through a detailed analysis of key biblical passages, the author argues that baptism was intended only for those who profess faith in Jesus Christ, and that the practice of infant baptism is a departure from the original intent of the ordinance. The author also discusses the broader implications of infant baptism, arguing that it undermines the principles of Christian freedom and personal responsibility. Ultimately, this book presents a compelling case for the biblical and historical practice of believer's baptism, offering a fresh perspective on a topic of ongoing debate within Christianity.

No alteration is made in this edition, of the Reply, except, that the typographical errors have been corrected. Its posi tions remaining impregnable, and having proved a valuable aid to a number of inquirers after duty, it is again issued from the press, to share in the struggle of truth against error, and gain additional victories through the power of the arm that wields it. To Him it is commended, whose honor, as Lawgiver in Zion, it vindicate and whose ordinance it aims to restore to primitive purity, in firm faith that His word shall not return unto Him void, but shall accomplish His pleasure, and prosper in the thing whereunto He hath sent it.
