From Nathan Pitchford's blog:

As one who spent a good deal of time last year studying the issue of credo/paedo baptism with my husband (and as a result, leaving our beloved reformed baptist congregation), this article really deals with the perspective we once held as credo baptists (that paedobaptists went beyond explicit scripture in baptizing their children, and as such, were on shaky ground). Though I obviously no longer hold this view (and believe the foundation for covenant baptism is in the Abrahamic covenant), Pitchfords article shows that there indeed are examples in scripture of believers being baptized with their children.
Just wanted to share - I'm not as theologically "literate" as many of you all here...so please go easy on me - I didn't post to "debate".
