Puritan Board Freshman
My best friend (Reformed Baptist) asked me a really good question that made me think. We were discussing Paedobaptism and he asked me this question:
If in the end a reformed baptist and a Presbyterian want the same thing (their children to bear good fruit and show that they are believers) then what benefit is baptism for the child? If a Reformed Baptist raises his children in the Lord, catechizing them, disciplining them and calling them to repentance and the Presbyterian does the same, then why baptize?
I am a Presbyterian leaning fellow and I found this question hard to answer. Any answers here?
