Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. In the turbulent, divisive 17th century, this text delves into a fierce debate over a question that would shape the future of a newly established church: should infants be baptized? The author, a passionate advocate for the baptism of children, confronts the arguments of those who denied the practice, meticulously presenting evidence from scripture, history, and logic to support his stance. While acknowledging the complexity and often opaque nature of the subject, the author insists that comprehension remains accessible through diligent study and the illumination of the Holy Spirit. Exploring the concept of church membership, the author argues that infants are indeed members of the Christian community, thus entitled to the sacrament of baptism. The author further argues that the denial of infant baptism stems from a fundamental misapprehension of the nature of the church and the covenant of God. Through careful exegesis, he elucidates the scriptural basis for infant baptism, demonstrating how it aligns with the broader principles of God's grace and the unity of the church. Drawing upon a wealth of sources, the author presents a comprehensive and convincing case for the baptism of children, providing a valuable resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of this significant theological debate.
