I am confused on an issue. I love the church I’ve been visiting (which is Presbyterian Church in America), but there’s one issue that I just can’t concede: baby baptism. I was under the impression that people are baptized as a sign of their commitment to Christ, which would require someone to be at least old enough to understand that. But I’m researching the issue. I would love some help. Any advice or points of view would be greatly appreciated. I’ve learned a lot, but I’ll save that for another post when I have more time. Here’s the basic difference between paedobaptism and credobaptism:
Paedobaptists believe that the proper subjects of baptism are believers and their children… Broadly speaking, a credobaptist is one who believes in what many call believers’ baptism. He is one who believes that a statement of belief (that’s what the word credo means) in Christ is necessary before one is baptized. -PRBC
