My father once told me that the one talking the loudest in a discussion is probably wrong.

Baptismal regeneration is definitely the minority position - and I have studied the issue for over 30 years of ministry.

I did read your entry, and find it unconvincing.

Grace and peace to you.

I think pj was suggesting that you were arguing against points he was not making in a manner which suggested you thought he was making them, especially about the temporal relationship of salvation and Baptism. And I didn’t hear anything loud.

I'm sure your father was a very nice fellow.

So your argument is, "everyone's doin' it!"?

Correction: So your argument is, "everyone's doin't it, and so am I... for a long time!"?

Maybe you did read my entry, but your reply posting was "canned". I'm sorry if it doesn't convince you. However, I would like to hear why. Also, I'd like you (or someone else) to square the logical question of "faith only". That is, does man possess free will?

Minority position?

A billion Catholics believe it, 300 million Orthodox believe it, and many Anglican Protestants believe it, as do Church of Christ Protestants and some others. I'm not sure, but I think some Lutherans believe it as well. Let's say 100 million Protestants believe it, over and against 200 million who don't.

That works out to something like 85-90% of all professing Christians. 85% is not a minority.
