A question that Baptist needs to address is whether an infant or child is part of the visible church. Indeed, is the idea of a visible church a classic Baptist distinctive? I won't answer that right now because I'll have to plead ignorance. Allow me time to do my homework.
FWIW I rarely opine on baptism threads as I think that both sides can make an idol out of the doctrine. I do not know what has come over me recently.
Must have been that trip to Scotland
