Simply claiming an equality with the Lords Table isn't enough. I believe scripture teaches baptism for all professors and their families, and fencing the table to only professors. Could you show otherwise? Or could you show how scripture equivocates the two sacraments?

Second, I do not use the argument, as some have stated, to claim we should not fence baptism. We should, but by Biblical standards. My argument is stated here, Visible/Invisible. I have never claimed we should baptize the entire world. Scripture upholds professors baptism as well as their families. We cannot make baptism fit the elect alone. Scripture does not offer this by way of example.

There is no "may be". Scripture gives examples of both members of Israel and member of the visible church receiving the sign and not being elect. This gives way to another question, Credible profession.

Allow me to state once again, we should not baptize the children of unbelievers. I am simply making the point that believers baptism is an untrue label, and the Baptist Confession upholds my view.


God bless,
