Distinctive Principles of Baptists
Excerpt from Distinctive Principles of Baptists
Baptism is a New Testament ordinance. This the Westminster Confession Of Faith concedes. The New Testament, therefore, should settle every question rel ative to baptism. This is the universal Opinion of Baptists. Pedobaptists, however, are not willing — as we shall see — to make an exclusive appeal to the New Testament in determining who are proper subjects of baptism. More of this in another place. My Object at present is to Show that there is no authority in the New Testament for infant baptism. Let us see. To the law and to the testimony.
