I thought it was clear but apparently not.
While clarifying, may I note that my statement was meant to be half a play on words and half serious. I know Bill takes his Baptist principles seriously. It is the disjunction of baptism with salvation that I would consider as not consistently antipaedobaptist. But anyway, given that it was only meant to be half serious, please take it at least with half a grain of salt.
