The irony of the piece is striking. He complains about his position being misrepresented and then accuses "Campbellites" of teaching the false doctrine of baptismal regeneration. Mark 16:16 teaches "he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved". Baptismal regenerartion would rewrite this verse to say "he that is baptized shall be saved". Despite the author's misrepresentation, I don't know any "Campellite" who teaches this. It appears the writer of the article is offended that there are some who will not rewrite Mark 16:16 to the other erroneous extreme to say "he that believeth shall be saved".

As far as infants are concerned, no man inherits any sin.(Ezekiel 18:19-20) The soul that sinneth shall die. Sin is trangression of the law. (I John 3:4)What is the law for the newborn that he has transgressed? Isaiah 7:16 teaches that there is a time before a child knows to to choose between good and evil.

Calvin, Campbell, Arminus, Spurgeon, Thomas Aquinas, all of them, who should care what any man says? We will be judged by the words of Christ, not by the doctrine of any man. (John 12:48)

Pslam 58:3 teaches that infants come from the womb speaking lies.

Therefore, if you believe the Bible, you are required to believe that Infants are born Sinners. If you do not believe that Infants are born Sinners, it is because you wish to disbelieve the teachings of the Bible.

'Nuff Said.
