You say, “The evidence for credobaptism is both implicit and explicit.” I see the implicit but what exactly is the explicit evidence?

Do you agree with paedobaptists that you have the burden of proof?

How do you take Matt 18:6 “whoever causes one of these little ones who BELIEVE in me.” ESV

In a comment on Doug Wilson’s blog you said children of believers “belong to Satan”. How does a baptist apply that principle in child rearing. This is not a principle in FV child rearing teaching that you highly praise.

In Acts 2:38 do you interpret “Repent AND be baptized” as “Repent SO THAT you can be baptized”? Is “AND” causative or conjuntive? If causative why?

Do you view the new covenant as replacement or extension of the Old Cov.? I get the impression you see it as replacement. Do you think it matters which view or is there another view i’m missing?

I still don’t understand your view of spirituality in the OT. I find it hard to believe you don’t find something spiritual about circumsision. Perhaps in future posts you can elaborate and clarify.

Is it accurate to say you believe that infants and young children as a class are beyond salvation?

If repentence is the only requirement for baptism which only adults and older children can do which reflects and conforms to the maturity of the new covenant why is there so much “children” talk in the N.T.? Why are adults refered to as children instead of adults on occasion?

Why is there so much covanental language from the OT carried over into the NT like “unto you and your children”?

You have mentioned Finland as an example of the problem of Paedobaptism. Could it not be an example of the problem of paedobaptism with baptistic views of child rearing (children belong to satan).

I personally think you do not take serious the history of baptist cultural legacy. You dismiss it by saying that baptists need to show greater discernment. Don’t you think there is some inherent problem here? You think your 9 year old son is ready for baptism right? He repented right? But yet you still hesitate. You have to make sure. Another baptist says “maybe he’s immitating you. Your son is not really owning his faith. You better wait a few more years.” You can see that repentence isn’t enough for the children of believers. And thats just the beginning of the baptist history.

I could ask more but I’ll spare you.

God bless and please forgive any spelling or grammar errors.
