Infant Baptism!

Good discussion! Keep it up! I'm currently reading God of Promise by Horton and he gets to signs and seals of the covenant in chapter 8, so we'll see how that goes.

G & P,

Hm.

Which things practiced in the Old Covenants were fullfilments of the Law?

Thank you.

(By the way, loving my study on Covenant Theo. Such a blessing!)

Baptizo can variously mean pour, sprinkle, dip, immerse - mode of baptism isn't important IMO.

(*waits for the inevitable link to "but there are other words used for sprinkle and pour"* to which I premptively answer "the problem with that line of argumentation is that you're arguing from a position of what you THINK should be used, not what's actually used in the text. JW's use the same line of argumentation when they go looking for Jesus to directly say "I am God" and when they don't specifically find those three words, despite whatever else is found, they conclude - wrongly - that Jesus isn't God. Instead, there's plenty of archaeological and etymological evidence to show that the word had various meanings even 200 years before Christ. Third, the early church doesn't mention any controversy with the various modes of baptism, showing that this - the mode of baptism- wasn't an issue.)

Nah. Had that feisty discussion with a friend concerning that years back. And I only asked out of ignorance. Really, I should have searched the scriptures and other sources first. Thanks for your explanation though! Verily 'preciated.

In a bit. About to get ready to visit my father with my wife.

Adorable.

Thanks Preecha.

Its against the blueprints, and quite frankly I find this whole discussion hilarious and quite revealing.

So... I guess you see my views on it, lol.
