Book Synopsis Covenant Holiness and Infant Baptism by : Thomas Blake
Download or read book Covenant Holiness and Infant Baptism written by Thomas Blake and published by Puritan Publications. This book was released on 2013-01-27 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work by Blake is a second treatment on covenant theology that was widely circulated during his time outside of his magnum opus work “The Covenant of God.” This book is a combination of two treatises he wrote, one concerning the covenant holiness of infants under the ordinance of baptism, and a second treatise covering answers to questions surrounding whether there is sufficient ground in scripture to warrant the conscience of a Christian to present his infants to the sacrament of baptism. Both are excellent Scriptural treatments of the subject, with exegesis surrounding passages such as Galatians 2:15, Genesis 17, 1 Corinthians 7, and Ephesians 4:1-3.

Book Synopsis Infant Baptism and the Covenant of Grace by : Paul King Jewett
Download or read book Infant Baptism and the Covenant of Grace written by Paul King Jewett and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 1978 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable. Paul Jewett, author of the creative and highly provocative book Man As Male and Female, here turns his critical attention to the practice of infant baptism. Jewett does not accept the traditional "covenant" argument for baptizing infants, and this book explains why he believes this argument fails. Infant baptism is not a subject which can be isolated. For, as Jewett would have his readers understand, one's view on this issue is integrally related to one's view of the sacraments in general and thereby to the whole doctrine of the church and salvation. Thus it is understandable that what appears to be a minor theological question has had such divisive effects on the church. A discussion of the historical source of infant baptism begins Jewett's critique and introduces such issues as the distinction between infants and children, the silence of certain early church fathers on the subject, infant communion, and catechetical instruction. The second and major portion of this book examines the theological issue, focusing specifically on the covenant argument, which suggests that baptism replaces circumcision as the sign of the covenant and thereby is given to infants. This argument, Jewett claims, fails to take into account the historical character of revelation, and contains certain contradictions. Jewett concludes with a creative defense of believer baptism, one which is theologically responsible and which recognizes the profound truths of covenant theology.
Book Synopsis Believer's Baptism by : Thomas R. Schreiner
Download or read book Believer's Baptism written by Thomas R. Schreiner and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is believer’s baptism the clear teaching of the New Testament Scriptures? What are the historical and theological challenges to believer’s baptism? What are the practical applications for believer’s baptism today? Volume two in the NEW AMERICAN COMMENTARY STUDIES IN BIBLE & THEOLOGY (NACSBT) series for pastors, advanced Bible students, and other deeply committed laypersons addresses these compelling questions. Indeed, Believer’s Baptism begins with the belief that believer’s baptism (as opposed to infant baptism or other faith proclaiming methods) is the clear teaching of the New Testament. Along the way, the argument is supported by written contributions from Andreas Kostenberger, Robert Stein, Thomas Schreiner, Stephen Wellum, Steve McKinion, Jonathan Rainbow, Shawn Wright, and Mark Dever. Users will find this an excellent extension of the long-respected NEW AMERICAN COMMENTARY.
Book Synopsis To a Thousand Generations by : Douglas Wilson
Download or read book To a Thousand Generations written by Douglas Wilson and published by Canon Press & Book Service. This book was released on 1996-06 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In arguing for biblical infant baptism, it is not sufficient for us to say that infant baptism is merely consistent with the Scriptures, or that a biblical case can be made for it. In order for us to be satisfied that we are being biblical Christians, we must be content with nothing less than a clear biblical case requiring infant baptism. In a doctrinal matter of this importance, the standards of evidence are high.
Book Synopsis Infant Baptism God's Ordinance by : Michael Harrison
Download or read book Infant Baptism God's Ordinance written by Michael Harrison and published by Puritan Publications. This book was released on 2016-05-30 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is this just another book on infant baptism? No. It is possibly the best succinct, yet comprehensive work on the subject ever written by a puritan. It was originally a longer series of sermons that Harrison preached to his congregation, many of whom were Baptist at the time. At their request, he placed his thoughts into a concise treatise that covers all the main points needful in understanding the biblical position of infant inclusion in the Covenant of Grace, and infant baptism. Harrison’s work is so acute in its biblical presentation of the truth of Scripture that the reader cannot be but left in awe of his masterful exactitude to God’s mind on the issue of infant inclusion in the Covenant of Grace, and the application of the sign of the covenant to every visible member in the church. He gives the reader an introductory lesson on the Covenant of Grace and those parties involved by way of its membership, and then proceeds to teach the reader why infants are to be baptized. Harrison deals hermeneutically with 9 biblical arguments on the issue; two of which are his most important foundational chapters setting the stage for the rest of the book. He also shows the danger of shutting infants out of the kingdom of heaven, and answers all the main objections to Antipaedobaptist theology on the issue. He ends the work with a chapter on the right mode in which baptism should take place, along with a chapter on applying the truths of the study to the life of the members of the covenant community. Without sounding clichéd, this work is among the top works ever written on the subject, and in my estimation is irrefutable. The unbiased reader will have no issues with Harrison’s biblical exposition and logic driven inference. It is a powerhouse puritan work that every Paedobaptist ought to read for support, and every Antipaedobaptist ought to read to untangle their dispensational theology. Harrison says that Antipaedobaptism is “to be justly abhorred as false doctrine,” and proves this to the reader beyond a reasonable doubt.

Book Synopsis A Discourse on Covenant Theology and Infant Baptism by : Cuthbert Sydenham
Download or read book A Discourse on Covenant Theology and Infant Baptism written by Cuthbert Sydenham and published by Puritan Publications. This book was released on 2013-01-10 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work on Covenant Theology and Infant Baptism is a complete Presbyterian treatment of the subject of infant inclusion in the Covenant, and of the proper administration of the ordinance of baptism. Cuthbert specifically writes against the rising error in his day of credo-baptism, or believers only baptism. Cuthbert shows that the credo-baptistic position is by inference only, and how that position is scripturally unattainable, and that it does not reflect the manner in which God works in covenant with his people. He covers the nature of the Covenant made with Abraham, whether the infants of believers may not be called in the New Testament the seed of Abraham, and how any person may be said to be in the Covenant. He exegetically expounds Acts 2:39, Matthew 3:8-9, 1 Cor. 7:14, Romans 11:15-17, Matthew 19:13-14 with Mark 10:13 and Luke 18:15-17, Col. 2:11-12, Matthew 28:19 with Mark 16:15-16, Heb. 10:22, and Acts 10:47. This is a masterful polemic against the error of dispensationalism, and demonstrates faithfully the Scriptural foundation of God's covenant and ordinances.

Book Synopsis It Takes a Church to Baptize by : Scot McKnight
Download or read book It Takes a Church to Baptize written by Scot McKnight and published by Brazos Press. This book was released on 2018-08-21 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The issue of baptism has troubled Protestants for centuries. Should infants be baptized before their faith is conscious, or does God command the baptism of babies whose parents have been baptized? Popular New Testament scholar Scot McKnight makes a biblical case for infant baptism, exploring its history, meaning, and practice and showing that infant baptism is the most historic Christian way of forming children into the faith. He explains that the church's practice of infant baptism developed straight from the Bible and argues that it must begin with the family and then extend to the church. Baptism is not just an individual profession of faith: it takes a family and a church community to nurture a child into faith over time. McKnight explains infant baptism for readers coming from a tradition that baptizes adults only, and he counters criticisms that fail to consider the role of families in the formation of faith. The book includes a foreword by Todd Hunter and an afterword by Gerald McDermott.
Download or read book What Is Baptism? written by R. C. Sproul and published by Reformation Trust Publishing. This book was released on 2019-03-14 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christians agree that baptism is an essential practice in the church, and they also agree that it does not in itself save people from their sins. But why is there disagreement when it comes to whom should be baptized and how? In this booklet, Dr. R.C. Sproul introduces us to the sacrament of baptism and explains why well-meaning Christians come to different conclusions about it. As he unpacks its meaning, we see that baptism is a sign and seal of God's promise of redemption, of cleansing from sin, and of new life in Christ. The Crucial Questions booklet series by Dr. R.C. Sproul offers succinct answers to important questions often asked by Christians and thoughtful inquirers.

Book Synopsis Why Do We Baptize Infants? by : Bryan Chapell
Download or read book Why Do We Baptize Infants? written by Bryan Chapell and published by Basics of the Reformed Faith. This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "My goal in this little book is pastorally to explain the scriptural foundation for infant baptism. To do this, I will first present the biblical support for infant baptism as I have presented it in new members' and church officer training classes over the past twenty-five years. Then I will conclude by offering words of explanation that I have often used as a pastor during the administration of the ordinance. My goals are to help explain why we should baptize the infants of believing parents and also to help pastors better to know how to administer the sacrament in ways that are meaningful and helpful for their churches. Thus, I plan to present this material in terms that are accessible to laypersons and to leave technical discussions to able scholars in other books."
