Dr. White did bring up the scripture about Grace dividing the household, father against son, etc. I didn’t hear really hear a response by Pastor Shishko. The examination of the texts - - that Pastor Shishko presented for household baptism - - Dr. White did an excellent job. I believe White did in fact show a pattern of repentance and faith before baptism especially in the early portions of Acts. To require repentance and faith for every text is an unfair demand especially since the pattern had been established early on.
That said, Dr. White [IMO] won by a hair, and Pastor Shishko was able to raise some doubt about credo only baptism. With all due respect I don’t think I can agree with Blueridge, I don’t think this is a secondary issue but a central issue, although I have a growing respect for paedobaptism, I’ll remain credo…for now.
