Paedos see baptism as an outgrowth of the covenant structure to scripture. |
Dennis,
When I saw this for the first time on my way from credo to paedo I wanted to tear out the page in my Bible that said "New Testament", because I finally began to see Scripture as God's continual story of redemption, and it was unfolding from beginning to end, and not taking some drastic unrevealed change about two-thirds of the way through.
For me, a lot of Scripture that I had viewed as disconnected began to interlock, fall into place, and make more sense.
