Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Infant-Baptism: Historically Considered The following pages have been written in the interest of spiritual religion and the evangelical faith. Years spent in the study and teaching of church history have forced the conviction that infant-baptism, taken as a whole and throughout its history, has been the most serious departure from apostolic Christianity and evangelical faith that the world has to show. It has been the open door through which most of the errors and evils which have afflicted the kingdom of Christ on earth have poured in. The whole character of Christian history would certainly have been very different had faith-baptism been preserved inviolate. Sacramental salvation, compulsion of conscience, bloody persecution and union of Church and State, would have been impossible. Its abandonment today would abolish sacramental salvation with all the churches that support this faith, would give an immeasurable impulse to evangelical faith and do more to unite the Christians of the world in the bonds of genuine spiritual fellowship and fraternity than all other possible changes. Varying views of the significance of infant-baptism is the chief cause of division among the pedobaptists themselves; its practice is the chief barrier between Baptists and evangelical pedobaptists. The work has been written with the full consciousness that there is much difference between the conceptions of infant-baptism as held and practiced by Catholics and evangelical Protestants, but with a very firm conviction of the evils and dangers as practiced among the latter. The author cherishes nothing but kindly feelings for his pedobaptist brethren and has sought to avoid in these pages any expression that would wound or offend reasonable people. He has written as plainly and as forcibly as his powers would permit, with the hope that pedobaptists may understand the feelings of the Baptists more fully and that some pedobaptists may be led to consider afresh their own duty in the premises. Withal, it may lead some Baptists to understand more fully the security and importance of their own position and the seriousness of the dangers that lurk in infant-baptism. W.J.
