Ever wondered about the idea that Christian kids might be ‘worse off’ if they’re not baptised as babies? This article digs into a common argument often used to support infant baptism, which suggests that if Jewish kids got a ‘sign of welcome’ (circumcision, back in the day), then Christian kids should get one too (baptism). But the author argues this isn’t really an argument at all; it’s more like restating the conclusion. It challenges the idea that circumcision and baptism are essentially the same thing, and that all biblical covenants are just different ‘administrations’ of one ‘covenant of grace’. It’s a head-scratcher that makes you think about whether this ‘less gracious to Christians’ idea actually holds water.
