James White, the contributors to
and other antipaedobaptists charge that Reformed paedobaptists are inconsistent in their application of covenant theology. More specifically, it is argued that in the Old Covenant economy, every man under the authority of the head of household was circumcised, including extended family members, servants, etc. However this is not the case in Reformed paedobaptist churches, where only infants and small children of believers are baptized apart from a credible profession of faith. Quite often, even children above a certain age (which of course varies) are not baptized when their family joins the church unless they are professing believers, and extended family members and others who may be in the household are not baptized apart from a credible profession of faith.
What say ye?
