How would a first century A.D. Jew undersand the passage? I somehow don't see any clarification, anywhere, in scripture changing this understanding of how children are included. To a Jewish person, household meant something. Notice how Peter compares the old to the new, yet still doesn't mention this discontinuity? Interesting to me. I have read an argument from silence, but can't remember it exactly.

Well William if you'd let me get a word in edgewise perhaps I would seeing as how I just returned to this discussion only to find that it has grown considerably and mutated from its original form which btw was household baptisms. But you seem to want to talk about baptist hermenuetics which I recall was another discussion entirely. So keep your pants on I'll get around to it.

You know I could have been a baker but no I had to start getting interested in theology. I could still be a baker. Might be easier <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/Ponder.gif" alt="" />
