The Baptism Debate
April 3, 2024
Summary
The baptism debate. Typically, when we hear this, we cringe because it's not really done well; there are a lot of strawmen. We don't represent each other's side well, and it becomes heated and emotional. We don't want to do that today. We want to talk about the differences and where they stand biblically, and then why we would hold to a position known as the credo-baptist position: the 1689 Baptist view of baptism. Most of all, we pray that you're informed and encouraged. We love our brothers who are paedo-baptists, and we hope that comes out in this podcast.

The baptism debate.
Typically, when I hear this, I cringe because it's not really done well.
There's a lot of straw men.
We don't represent each other's side, and it becomes heated and emotional.
We don't want to do that today.
We want to talk about the differences and where they stand biblically, and then why Justin and I would hold to a position known as the Credo-Baptist position, the 1689 Baptist view of baptism.
We most of all, we pray that you're informed and encouraged.
We love our brothers who are pedo-baptists, and we hope that comes out in this podcast.
Stay tuned.
If you're new to Theocast, you may not have heard of this word.
It's called pietism.
Have you ever felt like the Christian life is a heavy burden versus rest and joy?
That you wake up worrying about how well you're going to perform instead of thinking about what Christ has done for you.
It's dread versus joy, really.
That's pietism.
Pietism causes Christians to look in on themselves and find their hope not in what Christ has done, but what they're doing.
And we have a little book for you.
It's free.
We want you to download it, and we're going to explain the difference between Pietism and what we call confessionalism, Reformed theology, really, how it is that we walk by faith, seeing the joy of Christ.
And when Jesus says, Come to me and I will give you rest, what does that look like?
