Infant baptism has been practiced for centuries across many Christian traditions. Proponents of the practice argue that baptism is primarily an act of God’s grace rather than an individual response of faith. Some also compare baptism to circumcision, arguing that it brings infants into the New Covenant just as circumcision marked entrance into God’s covenant with Abraham.
In this episode of Apostolic Life in the 21st Century, Dr. David K. Bernard examines the arguments for infant baptism and compares them with the pattern established in the New Testament. He discusses who qualifies as a candidate for baptism, the role of original sin in this debate, and why repentance and personal faith are central to the biblical practice of baptism.
