Inconsistent approach to the Household Model of Baptism applied by Paedo-Baptists:
I posted a question, with my typical rhetoric, in a thread that was I later found out was for Paedo-Baptism only to ask and answer. So I want this opened up for everyone to discuss, not just those with one particular perspective.
I mentioned in the original post that I admitted that those within the credo position have a tendency of being inconsistent in their approach by baptizing children at 3 or 4, without the children truly understanding the Gospel and the commitment they are in and their own arguments actually stand against their own practical practice. But that not the issue I want to address here I want to ask if Paedobaptists see an inconsistency with their approach of baptizing small or young children in a family of a father coming to faith versus a father coming to faith and not baptizing their 16 or 17 year old child that shows no desire of the faith what so ever? To piggy back on that same question, would you also have to baptize unbelieving wife as well, based on the household model, which is the primary justification for infant baptism? I think you all know what I would say, but I want to know what you all have to think.
