Intro to Infant Baptism

 

These pages are designed to be an intro to infant baptism.  More specifically it is an overview of infant baptism as understood by covenant theology.  It has been heard more than once that Zwingli, Luther and Calvin were Reformers who didn't reform enough.  Were the Anabaptists correct that the others clung to some vestiges from the past?  Or is there actually Scriptural support for the practice of infant baptism?

The following items are points to take note of as they will be dealt with in detail in the papers provided at this website.  In order to resolve the debate of infant baptism vs. believer's baptism it will be necessary to hit these considerations head on.  The Dialogos papers provide the forum for good, thorough, point-by-point consideration of these points which is needed in order to get to the bottom of the debate.
