In this episode of Catholic Answers Live, listeners ask insightful questions on a variety of Catholic topics. Discussion includes the history and value of the Liturgy of the Hours for laypeople, Church teaching on keeping cremated ashes at home, and how miracles are evaluated in the canonization process when multiple saints are invoked. Other questions address the origin of John the Baptist's baptism, the theological distinction between infant baptism and Old Covenant circumcision, and whether someone who doesn't attend Mass may receive Communion during a hospice visit. Also covered are explanations of patron saints for Protestant audiences and concerns about receiving a Shinto omamori charm. A wide-ranging episode filled with clarity on Catholic doctrine, sacramental theology, and respectful interfaith dialogue.

Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 06:17 – What is the history of the Liturgy of the Hours and how can it benefit a layperson? 14:24 – What is the significance of receiving an omamori charm (Japanese Shinto) for marriage, and why is it advised not to hang it in a car? 19:09 – What is the origin of the baptism practiced and preached by John the Baptist? 22:51 – What is the Church's teaching regarding keeping ashes at home? Additionally, is it permissible for a non-practicing Catholic to receive communion during a hospice visit? 34:10 – In the canonization process, how is a miracle attributed specifically to one saint when people praying may also ask for the intercession of other saints? 44:04 – How can patron saints be explained to Protestants? How is the practice of having a Mass said for someone communicated to those unfamiliar with Catholic traditions? 52:22 – If infant circumcision was used to bring people into the Old Covenant and infant baptism brings people into the New Covenant, why is infant baptism not condemned as a “work of the law” while circumcision is?

Today, we're diving into the theological debate surrounding infant baptism, exploring the perspectives of paedobaptism versus credobaptism. We examine the arguments for infant baptism, practiced by Catholics and some Protestants (such as Presbyterians), and the Catholic belief that it washes away original sin. We also unpack the credobaptist position, held by Baptists and many non-denominational churches, which emphasizes believers' baptism as an outward sign of inward faith, rooted in New Testament examples like Jesus' immersion baptism. We'll look at key scriptures, historical church practices, and the reasoning behind both views and give our thoughts on what we believe to be true.

In this episode of Catholic Answers Live, we tackle some of the most thought-provoking and commonly asked questions about the Catholic faith. Topics include the biblical basis for Mary's sinlessness and the Assumption, as well as how to explain the word “Catholic” despite it not appearing in Scripture. We also explore the Church's teaching on the respectful handling of cremated ashes versus the veneration of saints' relics. Listeners ask how to understand Acts 2:38–39 in relation to infant baptism and seek guidance on restoring hope during spiritual dryness and doubt in the power of prayer. Join The CA Live Club Newsletter: Click Here Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 19:15 – Where in the Bible is the idea of Mary's sinlessness found? 24:20 – What is the distinction between the Church's prohibition on scattering cremated ashes and the distribution of saints' relics? 33:20 – Why do Catholics believe in the Assumption of Mary? 44:41 – How can one restore hope and faith when doubting the efficacy of prayer? 51:22 – How can Catholics explain the term “Catholic” being Biblical when the word itself is not in the Bible?

The Ruling Elder Podcast talks with Roger Wagner and David Winslow about ruling elders encouraging covenant youth.  One of the tasks of ruling elders, as set out by BCO X:3, is that ruling elders should "nourish and guard the children of the covenant”.Rev. Roger Wagner, now a retired minister, was ordained to the ministry in 1973, serving ten years at Sonora, then he became pastor of Bayview OPC in Chula Vista, California in 1983 where he served for the next forty years until his retirement.

Baptism is a seal upon a believers and infants life; it is a powerful sign of God's covenant, and a powerful seal of God's promises. Reminding us of the vows the Lord has made unto us and we unto him. The case for an infant to be baptised is simply for them to never remember a time they didn't know God - we are all united as one in baptism which is through Christ (see Gal 3:26-28; col 2:8-14).

There are lots of objections to infant baptism floating around in American Christianity today. In this episode, the Fellows respond to some common objections leveraged against advocates of baptizing infants. The objections came from X-post comments; they do not represent the most sophisticated arguments for the credo-baptist position but rather some ordinary objections that real people believe and profess.

Our children are not strangers to the covenant. The generational faith of Christianity is rooted in covenant, the most important truth revealed to us in redemptive history. As Peter says, the promises are always “to you and your children,” giving them ultimate meaning, hope, and purpose, and a faith they will never abandon.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >HereHere

The Presbyterian Church has a long history rooted in the Protestant Reformation, but what exactly sets Presbyterianism apart from other Christian traditions?Pastor Jeff Cranston sits down with Reverend Bill McCutchen, lead pastor at Hilton Head Presbyterian Church, to explore the key aspects of Presbyterian theology. If you haven't seen part 1 of this conversation, feel free to go back and listen.Here's What We Discussed00:55 - Infant BaptismMany Christian denominations, including Presbyterians, practice infant baptism—but why? The practice is rooted in covenant theology, where God's promises extend to believers and their children. They also baptize older children, teenagers, and adults who come to faith later in life. 03:24 - Covenant Theology and BaptismWhat does it mean to be part of God's covenant? God's promises have always been generational, from Abraham to the New Testament Church. He highlights Peter's sermon at Pentecost, where he says, “The promise is for you and your children” (Acts 2:39). 06:03 - Sprinkling vs. ImmersionPresbyterians typically use sprinkling or pouring. Rev. McCutchen explains that the Old Testament frequently refers to ritual cleansing through sprinkling (Ezekiel 36:25). The Greek word for baptism (baptizo) can mean to immerse, but also to wash or cleanse. While immersion symbolizes death and resurrection, sprinkling and pouring emphasize the outpouring of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:17). 10:18 - Church Governance in PresbyterianismUnlike some churches that are led by a single pastor or bishop, Presbyterian churches follow a plurality of elders model. McCutchen explains the difference between Teaching Elders and Ruling Elders. As far as allowing women pastors it depends on the denomination. The Presbyterian Church in America holds to a complementarian view; women can serve in many leadership roles but not as ordained pastors or elders. 15:04 - The Core of Reformed Theology: TULIPReformed theology is summarized by the acronym TULIP:Total DepravityUnconditional ElectionLimited Atonement Irresistible Grace Perseverance of the Saints These doctrines were developed in response to Arminian theology and remain foundational to Presbyterian beliefs today.20:14 - Closing ThoughtsReverend McCutchen and Pastor Jeff reflect on the importance of unity in Christ, despite denominational differences. Visit Hilton Head Presbyterian Church: https://www.hiltonheadpca.com/leadership Join the ConversationWe love your feedback!

One of the more puzzling questions we address here regarding infant baptism is this: If it was not taught by the Apostles or the New Testament, how is it that by the 300's AD it had become the dominant view of the church and stayed that way for well over a thousand years?

Many Christian denominations teach infant baptism, including the Catholic Church in which I was raised. Is this a legitimate biblical tradition, or is it based on a misunderstanding of Scripture? Even if parents who do this are sincere, are they basing their hopes on a doctrinal foundation that crumbles when examined closely?

In this episode, Trent sits down with Marco Arroyo, a Church of Christ minister, to discuss their agreements and differences on salvation, especially on infant baptism.

But in answer to the question, “Why infant baptism?” I will suffice it to say that baptism is less about “me” and more about “we.” Baptism has replaced circumcision as the sign of the Covenant of Grace. And just as the sign of circumcision applied to both infants and adults in the Old Testament, the sign of baptism also applies to both infants and adults in the New Testament.Support the showThanks for listening!

So, we know that Christians are called to ably communicate, telling neighbors and others what God can do in their lives—that's called the Great Commission! When the questioning Pharisee Nicodemus approached Him, Jesus immediately talked about being born again and seeing the Kingdom of God. (John 3) That is all part of the New Covenant, the “better covenant,” as the book of Hebrews calls it. So, just what are the American church, your local church, and even you marketing on behalf of God?

In this new series, Pastors Zac and Brandon answer objections to Infant Baptism. This episode explores the question: Can infants repent and believe? The Reformed have argued that children of believing parent(s) have the "habit," "seed," or "inclination" to faith. Listen to how many Reformed theologians described the children of believers: Herman Bavinck: Based upon God's promise and His ordinary working, a “judgement of charity” is extended to children of believers.  Henry Bullinger: “Children [of believing parents] are God's; therefore they have the Spirit of God.” Zacharias Ursinas: "Faith is, indeed, necessary to the use of baptism with this distinction. Actual faith is required for adults, and an inclination to faith in infants…. Infants born of believing parents have faith as to inclination…. Infants do believe after their manner, or according to the condition of their age; they have an inclination to faith. Faith is in infants potentially and by inclination, although not actually as in adults.” Herman Witsius: “We moreover subsume: even the children of believers have received the Holy Spirit: for otherwise they could never be holy.”    Cornelius Van Til: “I must regard all children of believers as children of God till the contrary appear to be true.” But is this view substantiated in Scripture?

In this new series, Pastors Zac and Brandon answer objections to Infant Baptism. This episode explores the question: who is a member of the New Covenant? Is it only those who make a credible profession, or is it believers along with their children? Does Jeremiah 31 teach that only the regenerate will be New Covenant members? Furthermore, does Hebrews 10:29 teach us that the New Covenant is "mixed" - that is, does it include, as previous covenants have, those who are "in the covenant but not of the covenant" (see: Herman Bavinck, Reformed Dogmatics, 3:232)?  For more information, see: Jeremiah 31: Infant Baptism in the New Covenant (article) by Richard Pratt  The Church, Baptism, and Faith in the Reformed Tradition (audio) by Mark Jones Covenant Theology in Hebrews (video) by Jeremy Boothby Baptism, Covenant, Election (video) by Richard B.

Furthermore, does Hebrews 10:29 teach us that the New Covenant is "mixed" - that is, does it include, as previous covenants have, those who are "in the covenant but not of the covenant" (see: Herman Bavinck, Reformed Dogmatics, 3:232)?  For more information, see: Jeremiah 31: Infant Baptism in the New Covenant (article) by Richard Pratt  The Church, Baptism, and Faith in the Reformed Tradition (audio) by Mark Jones Covenant Theology in Hebrews (video) by Jeremy Boothby Baptism, Covenant, Election (video) by Richard B.

Put simply, “[e]very person not yet baptized and only such a person is able to be baptized.” The Catechism explains to us the purpose of Baptism for both adults and infants. Fr. Mike doubles down and makes sure we understand that Baptism is for everyone. God wills Baptism for all people. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1246-1252. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.
