Ok, I am not defending hisalone, but I did some Google searching. I am not advocating the writers of these works either...But apparently there are others that believe similarly to what hisalone does on this issue. Please correct me if I am wrong.

The Priesthood of the Plebs: a Theology of Baptism- Peter Leithart (Warning: Federal Visionist heresy!)

Of Baptism- Bob Burridge

The Reformed Doctrine of Baptism & New Testament Practice- Ligon Duncan
Marie,

Methinks your method of searching with Google needs to be improved. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/giggle.gif" alt="" /> The two articles by Burridge and Duncan clearly do NOT teach anything even remotely similar to what hisalone is advocating, i.e., "baptism means/is a consecration of a NT believer into a/the priesthood". I read through both articles from beginning to end and nothing of the sort is even hinted at by either author. Both take the historic, biblical view on the meaning of baptism. As for Leithart, I have no desire to waste my time reading the writings of a heretic especially when I know that for FV'ers, baptism is something far different than it is in historic biblical Christianity. It's just that I cannot see wasting my time looking for truth from one who rejects the truth. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

In His grace,

I am glad that I read what you had to say before I replied to Marie, because what you found was exactly my thoughts after reading those links. I was thinking that perhaps I was missing something.
