Part 3: The circumcision-baptism parallel argument for infant baptism introduced

A Biblical Analysis of Infant Baptism 00:29:39 – 00:31:10

Winger introduces the strongest paedo-baptist argument: baptism parallels circumcision as a covenant sign.

The argument: circumcision was the covenant sign in the OT and was applied to infant boys; baptism is the covenant sign in the NT; therefore baptism should be applied to infants as well, initiating them into the covenant community. Winger finds the reasoning confusing when pressed — what does it mean for baptized children to be "in the covenant"? Are they saved? What about unbaptized children? He asks listeners to clarify these questions in the comments.

Did God hang babies out to dry with the rest of sinning humanity?

My last post on Judas brought up a discussion of Jesus’ words about Judas and what it would have been like for him had he not been born.

Sin Nature Through Man

The question has come up on this blog about whether Adam had a sin nature at the fall that would have been passed on to all of us, and if this is an issue that is important regarding women in ministry.

Galatians 328 Is It Only About Salvation

According to complementarians, Galatians 3:28 is not about equality in Christ, but about all of us being in the same “boat” of salvation. The Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood (CBMW) has made quite an effort to try to demolish Galatians 3:28 as a basis of spiritual equality outside of salvat
