Upcoming Debates:
BAPTISM:
For
INFANTS or BELIEVERS
ONLY?
(A Baptist vs. Presbyterian Debate)
For centuries, Baptists and Presbyterians have shared in
common nearly identical core doctrines and practices, which
both have faithfully drawn from the same well of Holy
Scripture. Particularly foundational to both traditions are
the glorious truths of Free and Sovereign Grace, which both
groups have guarded tenaciously and preached passionately,
even when it cost them their very lives. In recent
history, Baptists and Presbyterians have enjoyed
an increasingly richer and deeper level of friendship and
fellowship with one another. Today, seeing Baptists
and Evangelical Presbyterians exchanging pulpits,
co-authoring books and cooperating in evangelistic and
scholastic efforts with one another is, thankfully,
commonplace. There are, however, a few teachings and
practices that always have and continue to separate these
two Christian groups to this day, whose members have long
labored side-by-side in Christ's vineyard. Chief among these
differences involves the biblical ordinance of BAPTISM.
We cordially invite you to witness two friends and brothers
in Christ, one a Baptist and one a Presbyterian, engage in a
fraternal and collegial debate over the
question of who are the proper candidates for SCRIPTURAL
BAPTISM.
THE BAPTIST: "Baptism
is ONLY for those who have personally repented &
believed in Christ."

repented & believed in Christ."
