The Case for Infant Baptism: Who’s Actually Making the Vow—and to Whom?

In this episode, Rev. Chris Gordon sits down with Rev. Dan Borvan to tackle the often controversial subject of infant baptism. They clarify that the Reformed position is fundamentally different from the Roman Catholic view of baptismal regeneration and the Baptist view of baptism as a personal vow of loyalty. Instead, they argue that baptism is a sign of God's promise to be a God to His people and their children, a pattern established in the Abrahamic covenant that continues in the New Testament.
