QUESTIONS

WCF 28.4

Q1. What are some common arguments against infant baptism? – (08:50)

Q2. Why did the Old Testament believers circumcise their infants and what is the significance of doing so to the parent and to the child? Were all circumcised people genuinely saved? How is this related to infant baptism of the New Testament? – (13:00)

Q4. Was circumcision only for ethnic and national purposes, and hence cannot be a New Testament concept of water baptism replacing it? Explain. – (35:30)

Q3. How do we know that water baptism replaced circumcision? But how can it be so when only males were circumcised but both male and females (adult or infants) are baptized in the New Testament? – (1:05:40)

Q5. How is infant water baptism different from adult water baptism? – (1:16:45)

Q6. Is the covenantal family concept also present in the New Testament? What does God say about family members of the believer? What does this inform us about God and infant baptism? – (1:25:17)

Q12. Should we baptize infants when only one parent is a believer? What is the basis for that? – (1:31:12)

Q7. Was infant baptism practiced in Scriptures? Or was it added to Scriptures? Please give examples. Is the practice of infant baptism an addition to Scriptures or the failure to practice it a deletion from Scriptures? – (1:39:06)

Q9. Why do we not baptize adults and teenagers of believers who have not become believers, but we would for a believer’s infant?

Q10. Why not practice infant dedication instead? – (1:45:02)

Q11. What is the Roman Catholics belief about water baptism (for both adult and infants)? Should we stop infant baptism because of the Roman Catholic’s erroneous teachings and beliefs? Why? – (1:47:17)

Q8. What is therefore the purpose of infant baptism? What must parents learn from this reminder? – (1:52:26)

Bible Passage (KJV): Psalm 23:1-6

1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

What Kind Of Obedience Do You Have? (1 Samuel 14:46-15:12)

Speaker: Reverend Joseph Poon

Website: http://www.bpcwa.org.au/

====

Bible Passage (KJV): 1 Samuel 14:46-15:12

46 Then Saul went up from following the Philistines: and the Philistines went to their own place. 

47 So Saul took the kingdom over Israel, and fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines: and whithersoever he turned himself, he vexed them. 

48 And he gathered an host, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of them that spoiled them. 

49 Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishui, and Melchishua: and the names of his two daughters were these; the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal: 

50 And the name of Saul's wife was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz: and the name of the captain of his host was Abner, the son of Ner, Saul's uncle. 

51 And Kish was the father of Saul; and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel. 

52 And there was sore war against the Philistines all the days of Saul: and when Saul saw any strong man, or any valiant man, he took him unto him. 

Bible Passage (KJV): 1 Samuel 15:1-12

1 Samuel also said unto Saul, The LORD sent me to anoint thee to be king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the words of the LORD. 

2 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt. 

3 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass. 

4 And Saul gathered the people together, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah. 

5 And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and laid wait in the valley. 

6 And Saul said unto the Kenites, Go, depart, get you down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them: for ye shewed kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites. 

7 And Saul smote the Amalekites from Havilah until thou comest to Shur, that is over against Egypt. 

8 And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword. 

9 But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them: but every thing that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly. 

10 Then came the word of the LORD unto Samuel, saying, 

11 It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the LORD all night. 

12 And when Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and, behold, he set him up a place, and is gone about, and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal.

Strangers And Pilgrims: How God Is Glorified

Speaker: Reverend Joseph Poon

Subscribe Here: https://www.youtube.com/@TheBiblePresbyterianChurchofWA?sub_confirmation=1

Website: http://www.bpcwa.org.au/

Bible Passage (KJV): 1 Peter 4:12-17 – (00:00)

QUESTIONS

Q1. How is God glorified when unbelievers around us mock him, and Christians are losing out because they are suffering under them? – (06:31)

Q2. So how do I ensure that I do glorify God when under pressure, and facing trials and reproaches? – (36:55)

Q3. From 1 Peter 4:15, what kind of suffering does not glorify God? What must I learn? – (1:03:41)

=====

Bible Passage (KJV): 1 Peter 4:12-17

12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.

15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.

16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

QUESTIONS

Q1. God made a covenant promise with us, and God says that you and your family will be saved.
