IF A BAPTIST, WHY? Part II

IF A BAPTIST, WHY?
Part II

This is a continued subject from last week, I continue the subject with a question. Where do our protestant paedobaptist friends miss it? I think they miss it in their erroneous and confused misunderstanding of the two covenants, namely the Old and the New.
Paul in his treatment of this subject in the letter to the Hebrews 8:6 addresses it with these inspired words from the Amplified New Testament, “… But as it now is, He [Christ] has acquired a [priestly] ministry which is as much superior and more excellent [than the old] as the covenant [the agreement] of which He is the Mediator [the Arbiter, Agent] is superior and more excellent, [because] it is enacted and rests upon more important [sublimer, higher, and nobler] promises.”
Our paedobaptist friends seek to weave together the language of the Old Covenant, of which Moses was the administrator, with that covenant (the New Testament) which God the Father made with His Son (Jesus Christ) before the world began: in doing so they equate the Old Testament rite of circumcision with the New Testament ordinance of baptism. In this equation they justify themselves in their practice of infant baptism. Using the words of the Apostle Paul when he addressed another subject, “Brethren these things ought not to be.”
Abraham was promised two seed (seed plural); a natural, or we might say national posterity, and a spiritual. In Hebrews 8:8 the apostle speaks of a New Covenant being made with the “house of Israel and the house of Judah,” it is evident that he has in mind the spiritual seed of Abraham.
In that Old Covenant made with the natural descendants of Abraham of whom Moses was administrator, circumcision was a mark or a sign in the flesh. By the law of the Old Covenant every male child was to be circumcised on the eight day. Jesus was submissive to this rite by law, Luke 2:21.
The Apostle Paul when referencing the subject of circumcision in Romans 2:29, speaks of it in the spiritual sense. “But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not to men, but of God.” Baptism is always in context with intelligible human beings, never infants. Those who come confessing their repentance and faith in Christ and bearing evidence of a regenerate heart alone are to receive the ordinance of baptism. Baptism is their public confession and witness to the inward work of the Holy Spirit in the heart. A person receiving baptism is confessing that he is dead and buried to the old nature and raised in newness of life to walk with Christ his Lord. An infant can hardly apply to this. ~~Terry Worthan, 1938-2022
[Let me recommend a book in which I received much help in my study of the Historical Baptist Faith, “Baptist, The Only Through Religious Reformers”.]
