Regarding the subject of mode, has anyone read William The Baptist? I love the Biblical case Chaney makes for the significance and importance of Baptism being water applied to the individual. I was already a paedobaptist (converted from a credo position) going into this book, but after seeing the case clearly shown from Scripture, I’m left without any doubt. I look forward to reading this book as well.
Regarding the issue of Roman Catholic baptism, Fesko says we should accept them in our Presbyterian communion based on three things. One of them is that the RC baptism is administered by a minister. But this begs the questions…Is the RC priest a true minister of the Word of God? Most in the Reformed community would say no, and therefore we would not accept a RC baptism.
I’m not arguing either way, but it seems interesting how he assumed that the Priest is a true minister of the word. I started reading this book last night, and I’m enjoying it so far
