Scott's comments from the Reformed Readers group.

I haven't looked at the Federal Vision, at least yet. Re: baptism I'm now reading Infant Baptism and the Silence of the New Testament. It's very good. I just listened to an MP3 sermon on SermolnAudio.com from Reformed Baptist Jim Savastio against infant baptism. While I greatly respect him , it wasn't him at his best IMHO.

Hi Jason - I've listened to many MP3 debates and see the paedobaptist view in light of covenants. I must say I am still studying and may be near where you are. The thing I am wrestling with is the mixed church, saved v unsaved. It explains the warning passages which says a lot. So it is the larger covenantal issues that I find more difficult than baptism per se. I thought the Wilson book was written before he "went south" in his theology? Also I am SBC Pastor which really complicates things practically speaking.

Thanks Norlan, I've viewed that one already and it is excellent, although slightly dated.

Thanks Bob, I'm aware. I meant the hermeneutic re: believers' baptism v infant baptism. Vis a vis OT v NT.

I'll have to get the one from Doug Wilson. I've also listened to the many MP3 debates on the web on the subject. I'm now listening to Bill Shishko's series of 23 MP3s on the topic from a paedo position. Anyone know what the differences are in hermaneutic?

Hello -

Does anyone have any recommendations on the best books to study the issue of paedobaptism vs believer's baptism?

Thanks,
Scott
