Episode 7 - Infant and Believer's Baptism

August 31, 2020 • Ryan Hoffer • Season 1 • Episode 7

In this Episode we take a break from the historical narrative of the Separatists to talk about the difference between credobaptism (believer's baptism) and paedobaptism (infant baptism). Did the earliest Christians baptize babies? If so, why aren't there any examples in Scripture? If not, how did the ordinance come to be imbued with such ceremonial pomp? Why didn't it end with the Reformation? And why was believer's baptism met with such militant resistance? Have a listen to find these answers and more!
