Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Plea for Infant Baptism: To Which Is Annexed an Appendix Containing Two Forms of Administering the Rite The following Letters do not pretend to novelty upon a subject which has been so frequently and thoroughly discussed as that of Christian Baptism. They are intended chiefly to exhibit to the notice of those who practise infant baptism, and who often seem rather to comply with it as an innocent custom than to submit to it as a Christian duty, the high and strong ground of obligation upon which this practice stands: and like wise to show how very little the practice of deferring the baptism of the descendants of baptized persons to adult age has to say for itself. The whole theatre of controversy apparently lies between the advocates of infant baptism, who follow the example of the universal primitive church, claiming its derivation from the authority of the Apostles; and those who would limit baptism to proselytes alone, who are the only description of persons whose baptism is recorded in the New Testament; the deferring of the baptism of the infant offspring of baptized parents being a practice unknown to Christian antiquity. It is not the authors design to pursue the controversy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
