txzman, You wrote, "don't tout infant baptism as a crux of faith." Are you saying that those who tout infant baptism as a crux of faith are wrong and are scismatic, so to speak? I'm saying that those who deny infant baptism (and baptism in general as the way to be saved) are not to be considered Christian but scismatic. We can't both be right. If you are right then the Christian Church was wrong for about 1,600 years.

That would mean that the first 400 years they got it right.

uh - I didn't write that....

Dear forthe,
What I meant was that infant baptism was not seriously challanged until after the Reformation. Some would say this is mostly Luther's fault but I totally disagree. What I meant was that it is only in the last centuries that denying baptism to infants has been in vogue.
