I thought his doctrine on putting on the name was interesting too. He even appealed to Middle Eastern culture. No bible but interesting nonetheless.
No Bible? Putting on the name? Gal 3:27, Heb 6:1-3 (let's move on, the Apostle says), That's just using hermeneutics by explaining the possible cultural meaning to the contemporaries of Christ. But that Baptism is full of representation, signs, covenants, circumcision, and anything else the Apostles called it, is not part of marginalizing its importance. On the contrary, much of our NT soteriology is of the fulfillment of many types and shadows in the Old Testament, causing them to inherently all have a relationship to symbols.

Kim, I'm most definitely against infant baptism.
