My 2-week-old son will be baptized in an OPC Church this Sunday! Thank you Pastor Everhard for all you do.

Thanks Matthew. As a baptist who's wrestled with this question for years it's nice to have a resource which lays out all these arguments which I can then investigate in more depth in my own time. I have to say though I was a bit distracted at first by the fact that baby only has four fingers haha

[joshjay]

I appreciate your teachings, brother! My views on baptism changed near the end of last summer, and I'm having my newborn son baptized this weekend.

[jeffreyjourdonais]

I am only kid baptized (Presbyterian) in my family. Only one that is a Christian. So empirically I can see that it has power.

[definiton]

Thanks for the explanation and informative. . I am currently doing a deep dive into the study of orthodoxy. The baptism of babies has been a big topic in church history in comparasion to the anabaptisits. Thanks again for the informative video.

In the Middle East. When Abraham was circumcised so was his entire household, including the slaves. This inclusive approach may very much still have been the norm in the Roman Empire. Consider also the family expectations of less then a 100 years ago. The individualism of today is a strange phenomenon. That the children were baptized in family baptisms should be taken as a Matter of course not the exception.

I love the word “everlasting” used in genesis 17. Gods command within His covenant to Abraham is everlasting.
Baptize the children of believers.

[Nameless-wt]

Jesus said, let the little children come to me and do not hinder them. The Lord used this one verse to change my mind from credo to paedo.

[cindymccafferty]

Many inscriptions on the tombs of early Christians say “baptized on the eighth day”. I grew up in a Lutheran church back in the 60s. If you had a baby on Tuesday, it was baptized the following Sunday. Maybe the Sunday after that if the mother was still in the hospital. But they didn’t mess around. None of this waiting until they’re six months old.

Love this channel but i didnt get my daughter baptized. When she gets of age she will . I got baptized as a baby and just got actually baptized for the first time last week. All glory to our lord jesus christ

[sophirette]

Perfect video! Thanks.

Hopefully not too much of a trick question but my children and I have received infant baptism in the Roman Catholic Church.
Would you re-baptize converted people in that case?
I believe I’ve heard Dr Sproul answer that he wouldn’t.

Grace and peace.

Please I would like to request prayers for a christian that is been persecuted.

Thanks.

Lord bless you brothers.

Great overview on the subject! Thanks!

Could you maybe do an interview/ conversation with a solid representative of the 1689 reformed Baptists ? Dr Fred Malone, Dr Jim Renihan

[TheBibleExegete]

Exodus 31:16-17 says the Sabbath is the sign of the Mosaic covenant. Nowhere are we told the Passover is the sign of the covenant.

[grantkemink]

So why would you give someone the sign of initiation into the covenant, but then hold back the sign of covenant renewal until faith is professed? If they are in the covenant, why not treat them fully as such and give them all the covenant signs?

[aracelielardo]

I agree with you that infant baptism is biblical.

[samsdad]

Pastor Matt forgot to mention at the end of the video about whether one should get their child baptized and the fact is yes, but only if you have sufficient evidence by the fruit of your life of your own conversion as getting a child baptized when you yourself are not converted makes no sense.

Sometimes I wonder if Baptists, who are mostly ignorant of scripture and you can tell that by what they say and how they live their lives, belong to a different religion.
