Hi Pilgrim
I hesitate to say anything, because I do not want this to become a debate between Paedo-Baptism and Credo-Baptism. This is the main reason why I waited so long before I responded to you.
However, I thought I would get some feedback from you for clarification on what you think the LBCF is actually saying.
Do you think the LBCF teaches that the sacraments work ex opere operato (I hope I didn't butcher that last word, lol) , creating faith in everyone who is baptized?
If so, I think you are stretching the language of the Confession too far. I do not have a problem with you saying the Confession could be worded better. I am not saying this is what you think the Confession is saying, just clarifying. This is something that has been used against the Confession before.
I thought I would add, that I have been trying to get hold of Samuel Waldron, to find out if he has anymore helpful insight into the matter of baptism in the LBCF. However, as of yet I have not been able to find an e-mail address or another way to communicate with him. Not that he would have the time to correspond with me anyway.
