As Baptists we disagree on scriptural and covenantal grounds with the Presbyterian practice of infant baptism, but even more serious is the growing practice in some circles, such as the CREC and those who follow Doug Wilson, of paedocommunion or infant communion. While we believe infant baptism is incorrect, paedocommunion goes further and seriously undermines gospel theology. It is not only extra-biblical but also teaches against the doctrines of grace.
In this episode, we attempt to walk through some of the issues with paedocommunion and how it goes against God’s word, not only in the explicit commands regarding the practice of the Lord’s Supper, but also the covenantal issues that frame salvation.
