1 Corinthians 7:13-16 — children are "holy" through a believing parent but this has nothing to do with baptism

A Biblical Analysis of Infant Baptism 00:38:18 – 00:43:29

Winger examines another verse used by some to support infant baptism.

1 Corinthians 7:13-14 — the unbelieving husband is "made holy" through the believing wife; the children are likewise "holy." Some infer from this that children of believers should be baptized. Winger's refutation: (1) The word "holy" (hagios) has a wide semantic domain and here refers to a spiritual benefit/sanctification from a godly presence in the home, not salvific status. (2) The husband is made "holy" yet is clearly not saved (v. 16 — "how do you know whether you will save your husband"). (3) All children in such marriages receive this sanctification whether baptized or not — Paul makes no baptism condition. (4) The husband receives it without being baptized. Baptism is completely off the table in this passage.
