Institutionalizing infant baptism in a church normalizes a practice with no scriptural grounding

A Biblical Analysis of Infant Baptism 00:48:06 – 00:48:36

Winger closes his main argument by noting the ecclesiological stakes of adopting infant baptism as a church practice.

Once a church institutionalizes infant baptism, everyone feels social pressure to baptize their baby. This normalizes and entrenches a practice that has no scriptural basis. Winger says he would not divide over it and would remain in a fellowship that practiced it, but he would not have his own child baptized in that context.
