The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum Paedo vs Credo Baptism (In a new post)

You might profit from reading this article put out by the OPC which deals with the baptism of infants specifically. As you will come to understand, which I have already briefly mentioned here, there is ONE covenant of grace and two signs of that covenant which reflect the "old" administration of it and the "new" administration of it. Please note also that the article does NOT state that infants of believers are automatically saved. Their salvation may take place at a later time IF God calls them to faith (cf. Acts 2:39). Note also, that the overwhelming majority of the infants who grew to adulthood and who had the sign of the covenant, circumcism perished in unbelief. Further, Moses chided the people of God for their unbelief and failure to be faithful to the terms of the covenant, who had the sign of the covenant, to "circumcise the foreskins of their hearts" (Deut 10:16), clearly showing that their circumcision was NOT an indication of their personal faith.

Anyway, enjoy the article: The Biblical Basis for Infant Baptism.
