In this episode Dr Clark looks at Romans 4:1–3 and considers what indeed was gained by Abraham and how. Was it by works or through faith alone? What does "and it was counted to him for righteousness" mean? He also answers a text message from Daniel asking about the argument that some Baptists are making that, if we baptize infants no the basis of the institution of infant circumcision then why do we not baptize grandchildren too? The opening audio features Erick Erikson.
