Joe,

Your you and your wife are in my prayers as well.

On our topic here, I am wondering along with Tom how you can make such a generalization of the teaching of Baptist churches. Granted, I would agree with you that, in your typical SBC church, you would hear the Gospel preached in a way that would cater to the nonbeliever and not really to the believer.

But I do not find that to be the case in Reformed and other Calvinistic Baptist churches. So just because Arminian, seeker-sensitive churches do that doesn't mean everyone does.

BTW, I still don't understand why erroneously baptizing unbelievers is an argument against credobaptism. Does accepting non-believers into full membership of the church mean we shouldn't have church membership? Does it mean that, if a false professor should partake of the Lord's Supper, we shouldn't fence the table at all?

True godliness is a sincere feeling which loves God as Father as much as it fears and reverences Him as Lord, embraces His righteousness, and dreads offending Him worse than death~ Calvin
