May I appeal to persons who, although Baptists in principle, are yet members of Pedobaptist churches?

May I appeal to persons who, although Baptists in principle, are yet members of Pedobaptist churches?

May I, in the second place, appeal to persons who, although Baptists in principle, are yet members of Pedobaptist churches? This class of persons is much more numerous than has generally been imagined. Many of them are not themselves fully aware that they approximate our principles. They have derived all their knowledge of them through Pedobaptist channels, and such have been the representations…

Does infant baptism do no harm?

Does infant baptism do no harm?

Does infant baptism do no harm? I persuade myself that no one who reads these pages, will ever again urge that fallacious plea. Every departure from truth must be an evil, and this is one of the most melancholy of them all. Will you not, my brother, ascertain for yourself, its character, and renouncing it, return cheerfully to the word of God? It is “a perfect rule of faith and practice.” If you,…

Address to Pedobaptist brethren

Address to Pedobaptist brethren

In closing this discussion, may I not, in the first place, address a few words to my Pedobaptist brethren? Will you not here pause, and with the Bible in your hand, prayerfully re-examine this whole subject? You have probably never, at any time, given it a careful investigation. You found it in your Church, and feeling, very naturally, a prejudice in favor of whatever she approves, and observes,…

Recapitulation

Recapitulation

CHAPTER 20 RECAPITULATION, WITH CONCLUDING ADDRESSES Recapitulation; addresses to Pedobaptists; to Baptists in Pedobaptist churches; to Baptists. THE evils of infant baptism have now, in most of their forms, passed successively in review. They have been considered calmly, dispassionately, but faithfully, and as demanded by the truth of our Lord Jesus Christ. If I have “nothing extenuated,”…

It must now, I think, be evident that infant baptism is the most pernicious heresy that has ever found its way into the church of Christ

It must now, I think, be evident that infant baptism is the most pernicious heresy that has ever found its way into the church of Christ. Are there still those who think it a small matter? Say you that it cannot be so very iniquitous? You are perhaps willing to admit that, “It does no good.” Do you yet claim that it “does no harm?” You are, I trust, undeceived You now see that it is really the…

Thus it is seen how infant baptism retards the designs of Christ in the conversion of the world

Thus it is seen how infant baptism retards the designs of Christ in the conversion of the world, by enfeebling, through her own errors and worldliness, the church herself; by placing Baptists and Pedobaptists in perpetual conflict with each other; by diverting from the work the time, the talents, the learning, and the money of the church; by detaining large numbers of ministers from the foreign…

Infant baptism retards the designs of Christ in the conversion of the world, by creating everywhere, strifes, and sectarian prejudices

Infant baptism retards the designs of Christ in the conversion of the world, by creating everywhere, strifes, and sectarian prejudices. How effectually do these embarrass and obscure the conceptions of men of all classes! How can those who are under their influence, ever see the truth? They give constantly recurring occasions for reproach and alienation. They turn away the hearts of multitudes…

Infant baptism retards the designs of Christ in the conversion of the world, by giving the name of Christians to the abandoned and profligate merchants, and sailors, and soldiers, and others, in foreign lands

Infant baptism retards the designs of Christ in the conversion of the world, by giving the name of Christians to the abandoned and profligate merchants, and sailors, and soldiers, and others, in foreign lands. These men, wicked as they are, covered with every crime, claim to be Christians! Heathens, and Mohammedans, recognize them as Christians, and as true representatives of the religion of…
