Edited, thanks for catching that.

As for baptism, I think it's helpful to see it as similar to eschatology: the Church has culled three different main views of eschatology (pre, post, and a) from the same scriptural information. Good Reformed men have historically held all three positions.

I completely disagree. The reason why eschatology is indifferent is because it is Confessionally so. Which part of the WCF on Baptism would you claim is indifferent? How about the part where it says that those baptized are not undoubtedly regenerated? Is that indifferent? What about those that claim that Baptism unites a man to Christ? Indifferent?
