  2. TONIGHTS SHOW ARE BABIES SUBJECTS OF SCRIPTURAL BAPTISM? Study of Original Sin – Part Two

  3. MENS DOCTRINES SAY: • "It is also taught among us that since the fall of Adam all men who are born according to the course of nature are conceived and born in sin. That is, all men are full of evil lust and inclinations from their mothers’’ wombs and are unable by nature to have true fear of God and true faith in God." ("The Augsburg Confession," The Book of Concord, Tappert, p. 29) • "They being the root of all mankind, the guilt of this sin was imputed, and the same death in sin and corrupted nature conveyed to all their posterity, descending from them by ordinary generation."(The Westminster Confession of Faith," Ch. VI, 1-2; The Book Of Confessions, 3; 6.033)

  4. The Scriptures Teach: • The Scriptures do not assume infant baptism. Rather, the presumption of the Bible is against it. • Romans 6: From beginning to end, this chapter fails to assume the practice of infant baptism. • 1Corinthians 12: Those who were "baptized into one body," the church, could not have been infants (v. 13). • First, those baptized had formerly been "led" by speechless idols in idolatry (v. 2). • Second, they were not to be "ignorant," but were “to know" and "to understand" certain facts (vv. 1-3) • Third, certain of these baptized individuals received spiritual gifts which they were to "covet earnestly" and exercise properly (vv. 4-31) • Infants cannot do this; therefore, infants were not included in the number of those who were baptized.

  5. The Scriptures Teach: • Galatians 3: • First, some of the baptized ones had been "bewitched," duped, deluded, deceived, and had become disobedient (v.1; Cf. Gal. 1:6; 5:7). • Second, they received the Spirit "by the hearing of faith;" that is, by hearing the word of faith (v. 2; Rom. 10:8; Acts 2:38, 41 • Third, those baptized had "begun in the Spirit," but now presumed to be made perfect "by the flesh," by the fleshly ordinances of the Old Testament (v. 3) • Fourth, the baptized ones were believers (vv. 11, 22, 26). • Do infants believe? If not, they are not among the number of those who were baptized (vv. 26, 27)

  6. The Scriptures Teach: • Colossians 2 • Infants were not among those who were "buried with (Christ) in baptism" (v. 12) • First, since they could be deceived "by enticing words," they were to "beware" (v. 4, 8, 18) • Second, they were old enough to have "received Christ" and to "walk...in him" (v. 6) • Third, those baptized did so "through faith in the working of God" (v. 12) • Fourth, these baptized ones could be judged or condemned for their lack of participation in certain feasts and rituals (v. 16, 20, 21) • Fifth, the baptized ones were expected to be "holding fast" to Christ (vv. 19, 20). • Do we expect this of a month-old baby?

  7. Scriptural Baptism • Essential nature of baptism. - Mark 16:16; Acts 2:38; 22:16; Galatians 3:27; 1 Peter 3:21. • Purpose of baptism. • To be saved - Mark 16:16; 1 Peter 3:21. • To receive remission of sins - Acts 2:38. • To have one's sins washed away - Acts 22:16. • To have the benefits of Christ's death applied to one's life - Romans 6:3-4. • To put on Christ - Galatians 3:27.

  8. Scriptural Baptism • Subjects of Scriptural Baptism: • Sinners - Acts 22:16. • Believers - Mark 16:16 • Repentant believers - Acts 2:38. • Repentant believers who confess Christ - Acts 8:36-38; Romans 10:9-10. • Therefore, infants are not proper subjects for baptism, having neither the capacity to sin, nor the capacity to believe.

  9. Scriptural Baptism • Method of baptism. • Adam Clark -(Methodist) : “!Alluding to the 'immersion' practiced in the case of adults, wherein the person appeared to be buried under the water, as Christ was buried in the heart of the earth. His rising again the third day, and their emerging from the water, was an emblem of the resurrection of the body.”--- Commentary on Colossians 2:12 The New Testament of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.' Vo ': 3. Abington press; Nashville, 1824 p. 523. • Baptizo - "To immerse, to submerge, to plunge.“ • It is a burial - Colossians 2:12. • The word "cheo" -- translated means to pour; • The word "luou" -- translated means to wash the body; • The word "rantizo" -- translated means to sprinkle. • Therefore, sprinkling and pouring are not authorized methods of performing baptism.
