Ya, it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. One more thing. If you were baptized as an infant that doesn’t count either and you must be rebaptized. So, help me with this:
  1. Baptists believe nothing special happens in adult baptism
  2. Baptists believe nothing special happens in infant baptism
Seem like the same outcome to me in both situations, from a Baptist standpoint. If neither baptism imbues any kind of grace upon the believer, why have someone rebaptized? Isn’t an infant baptism as equally void of God’s grace as an adult baptism?

Maybe I’m misunderstanding from all my 30 some-odd years as a Baptist, but it seems like an odd teaching to me. Any of our Baptist brothers & sisters out there to set me straight?

Mr.Stain, if I had your mind I could run for President…
What an abstract thought… I cant touch that, thats why I ask the question, How a baptist does not believe in infant baptism:confused:

LOL. Thanks for the compliment, but you wouldn’t want my mind. I have trouble finding my keys most days. Now Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven. I know who has those. 😉
