What about Infant Baptism?

Below is a four-part lecture series outlining the Scriptural basis for infant baptism, originally hosted on our congregation’s earlier website. The first lecture offers a survey of Scriptural teaching on the place of believers’ children in redemptive history, from Genesis to Revelation. The remaining lectures explore three simple arguments for infant baptism, based on a Scriptural understanding of the Covenant of Grace, the Church, and circumcision.
