It seems like for the first 1500 years up until the reformation baptism of infants was done to take away the sins of the many dieing babies, and thus regenerate them. They understood total depravity and original sin and did not want their babies to be lost if they died in infancy or at birth, at least this is how it seems. So when or who first came up with the idea of baptism as circumcision that is ascribed to now by modern reformed and Presbyterian folks?

The question for us today is, will we be like the majority of Israel and continue to look in fear at the giants in the land and urge our fellow Christians to be "realistic," or will we be like Joshua and Caleb and faithfully follow our king, trusting to fulfill every one of his promises completely?
