CT and paedobaptism is cleary mapped out in scripture using the whole of Gods scriptures, starting in Genesis and ending in the book of revelation. One cannot find it properly using a dispensational approach, i.e. using the NT to try and define the principle. I assume Shisko did this; I will see tonight. |
Actually, Pastor Shishko pressed from the beginning for White to prove that the household principle had been rescinded from its initiation in Genesis. He did not press the Covenant hard
per se because Dr. White has not been too terribly clear on what his position of the Covenant is. Personally, I don't think Dr. White is "Covenantal" Baptist such as the likes of Jim Renihan, Fred Malone,
et al. But don't get me to lyin'.
I was not convinced by Dr. White's approach because he failed to do the one thing that Pastor Shishko asked of him. Prove the clear and evident abrogation of God's command to apply the sign to whole households. I've listened to Pastor Shishko's 23 sermons on the subject of Christian Baptism and I hope he'll consider putting this material into book form.
