Season 4, Episode 6: Infant Baptism and Circumcision

Adam McIntosh, the pastor of St. David's Reformed, published a great article at Theopolis with a provocative title, "Christians Should Baptize Their Children, but Not Because of Circumcision." Adam builds on the biblical theology of the Old Testament and argues that the infant baptism argument, which equates circumcision and baptism, can be confusing and unhelpful at times. Instead, Rev. McIntosh says that the case for infant baptism is infant baptism all throughout the Bible. A baptismal theology must begin in creation. We also touch on the mode of baptism at the end of the conversation.
