Hi, FK. Thanks for your post. Ping to my 14,775.

I don't have much time today, but I do know that neither Reformed Baptist baptism and Presbyterian infant baptism incorporates the corruption of the idolatry of "baptismal regeneration" which insists the administration of certain invocations and splashing of "holy water" by the priestly class removes original sin and makes someone "acceptable" to God.

This is, as we've seen time and again, just another way for men and magisteriums to maintain control over those who kneel to them.

Yes, I think our differences on this are relatively minor. Someday in Heaven we'll both find out for sure what God intended and one of us will go "OOPS" and laugh about it with the other. :) Thank you so much for posting the Westminster Confession on this and for showing me what the majority Reformed view is.
