The majority of those who identify themselves as Christians in the world practice paedobaptism. That's millions upon millions of people. Yet this practice has caused serious harm and damage to the cause of Christ.
The worst part about it is that it introduces the unregenerate to the membership of the church and blurs the line between true converts and the unconverted. It is a despicable practice and one that should be abolished immediately among all who believe in biblical regeneration and justification by faith. The Protestant Reformation fell far short of reforming all the errors of the Catholic Church, and tragically, many vain traditions carried over into Protestantism.
I recently listened to a sermon John MacArthur preached recently on this topic. He is right on. This is a must hear sermon for paedobaptists and credobaptists alike.
Here's the sermon:
Is Infant Baptism Biblical?
(This link will take you to the page where you can listen to it)
This doctrine is extremely important because it determines whether or not the New Covenant community of the people of God (the church) should consist of only the regenerate or whether we should call the unregenerate Christ's bride too.
