03-Infant Baptism: Three Common Mistakes

As I closed the previous chapter, I said that before we explore the
theory and practice of infant baptism, some cautionary remarks are
necessary. For a start, the dispute over infant baptism does not concern
merely the age of a person to be baptised. No, the controversy is not
over adult baptism as against infant baptism. That is to trivialise the
debate. It is believer’s baptism as against all other sorts of baptism.1
Having made that important point, I now move on to look at three
common but fundamental mistakes in dealing with infant baptism.
