I understand that. I never said

that just because Baptists erroneously baptize non-believers
is an argument against credo-baptism. What I did say is that it is an argument against only believers being baptized. Now here's my next point. Since not all those baptized are elect(invisible), what covenant do all professors belong to? The visible covenant. Now the question becomes, "who are members of this visible covenant?" Professors? Yes. Who else?

New Covenant = Elect only and baptism only for those in the New Covenant doesn't add up. The church, both baptist and otherwise, have never practiced this. The scriptural examples show a continuity of familial inclusion in the visible Church and baptism rightly administered unto professors and their OIKOS.

I'm still waiting for somebody to show who are the proper subjects from scripture. Only that is "right", not this ideal we keep seeing put forth.


God bless,
