Concerning the debate of baptism, I believe that I have my two feet firmly placed on those two yellow lines on the road. When I have time, I try to read up on the debate to get myself out of this obviously dangerous, or at least, impartial position.
Most recently, I watched R.C. Sproul's video on Baptism.
I then sent it to a fellow brother in Christ who has been trying to work this subject out, as well.
He replied with the following:
"1. If baptism does replace circumcision, then why didn't Paul state that in Galatians?
2. Is a baby that has "the promise of God" any better than a baby that does not?
3. Luther was given a Roman baptism as a child. Was my Roman baptism good enough?
4. Should be put our confidence in baptism or a decision we made? Or should our confidence come from Christs work?
The New Covenant in Hebrews 8 - YouTube
5. Circumcision was only for males."
What would you respond to those points/questions?
Thank you.
