Also having attended the debate White seemed at times flustered by Shishko's cross examination especially when the question of what age would you baptize. White's answer was "that is a pastoral matter".
To me it looked like James was in the "principal's office". |
The look you are describing was James White trying to ease up. there were several series of questions that pastor Shishko basically side stepped and Dr.White let it go
Dr.White pointed out that the padeo baptist on the issue of padeo communion does the same thing as the baptist in reference to believers baptism. Do you also remember the series of questions about the adult who comes to faith but has children,not just infants some of whom deny the faith ,or some older than infants.
Dr . White raised the issue and then backed off. Both men did not have enough time to do much more. | Nonsence Anthony!
The criteria for communion is different than that of Baptism. Communion requires one to be able to discern the body and blood of Christ, and to examine oneself to make sure that one is in the faith. These are not requirments for Baptism.
