Deep dives
The Assumptions of Paedobaptism
The discussion highlights the potential dangers in the assumption by Paedobaptists that children of believers are inherently regenerate until proven otherwise. This perspective risks misidentifying the true nature of covenantal membership and may lead to confusion regarding who constitutes the covenant people. The participants argue that treating covenant children as regenerate can undermine the biblical understanding of regeneration as a conscious faith response to God. It is emphasized that such assumptions should be critically examined to maintain a clear definition of covenant membership.
