In
this thread, we asked this (later on in the thread), according to the Credo-only Baptists:
What constitutes a "credible confession/profession of faith," in order to baptize an individual?
I'd like to ask again, because there are some baptists who think it
wise and
permissible to withhold baptism from a child who has
nonetheless professed faith. What I would like to know is:
1. What is the criteria of a
credible confession/profession?
2. Did the Apostles use this profession?
3. If so, did they ever have a
waiting period for these folks?
Now, these things were discussed in the aforementioned thread, but most of the answers that came from the Baptists who thought it OK to wait were merely practical justifications, as opposed to scriptural mandates. So, for those who hold to this waiting period thing, I'd like to "hear" ya on the matter, and would be
much appreciative.
For those who don't believe in the waiting period, of what does the process of ascertaining a
credible profession consist?
Thanks so much, Friends.
