speratus,

Sorry, but I cannot agree that withholding baptism from infants should be judged according to a Webster's Dictionary's definition of "wicked". That is far too strong a term, IMHO. I do believe that infant's should be baptized. But I do not believe that it is so closely connected to salvation that it is necessary for one to do so or wicked if it isn't done.

Within the membership of this Board there are believers on both sides of the baptism issue. A very small minority on both sides are extremely critical of the other. It is my concerted opinion that although the doctrine of baptism is important to understand and practice rightly, there is no place for believers to castigate those who differ in a manner which I would consider judgmental and even Pharisaical. My views on this matter have been made public myriad times here and elsewhere. So, I see no need repeat them once again.

In His Grace,
