A Serious Question Stated (Classic Reprint): Viz; Whether the Ministers of England Are Bound by the Word of God to Baptize the Children of All Such Parents Which Say, They Believe in Jesus Christ? - Softcover
Synopsis
Do ministers have a duty to baptize the children of all who claim faith in Christ?
This tract examines church practice, baptism, and membership in early English churches. It weighs how faith, discipline, and discipline-bound ordinances shape who is welcome at the waters of baptism and at the Lord’s Supper. The discussion centers on church authority, how visible faith is defined, and when excommunication or suspension might apply.
Readers will encounter historical arguments about who may be admitted to the visible church, the role of a parent’s profession of faith, and how church discipline should operate in practice. The author weighs debates around baptism, church membership, and the limits of civil and ecclesiastical authority.
- Explains how baptismal eligibility was discussed in relation to a parent’s professed faith.
- Explores the link between visible sainthood, church discipline, and exclusion or excommunication.
- Considers how different ministers and traditions viewed the scope of baptism and communion.
Ideal for readers of religious history, church polity, and 17th‑century theological debates.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This influential and groundbreaking work by a respected author in the field challenges traditional beliefs about infant baptism, that it is a universal requirement for Christian churches. It makes a persuasive case against mandatory infant baptism, providing historical context and exegetical analysis of biblical texts used to support the practice. The author argues that infant baptism is not grounded in Scripture and that it undermines the principles of consent and personal faith that are central to Christian belief. This book provides a comprehensive and thought-provoking examination of the subject, offering a fresh perspective on a long-standing tradition.
