William,

You have yet to even begin to show how the "Form for the Baptism of Infants" is in accordance with the renunciation of "presumptive regeneration". None of my questions about the actual wording used in the Form have been addressed. Simply saying it is consistent with the alleged "official" doctrine of the two denominations mentioned doesn't make it so. wink

The form which I have taken issue with is NOT the "Form for the Administration of Baptism", but rather the "Form for the Baptism of Infants"... apples vs oranges.

And from your statement above, I would like to know who the "Promise" belongs to, e.g., only the elect, or all who are baptized?

In His grace,
