A little over a month ago, Dan Horn had a debate with Pastor Rich Lusk about Paedobaptism and the place of children in the church. After the debate was posted on YouTube (see link below), there were a number of comments that seemed worth responding to. A couple of the comments are from credobaptists, but most are from paedobaptists whose viewpoints seem to diverge from orthodox Presbyterian views and lean more toward Federal Vision.Dan Horn vs. Rich Lusk on Children in the Church:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4rcocRXATE Listen to the audio version here: https://theconqueringtruth.com/2025/05/pedobaptism-debate-response-ep-218-audio/Timecodes00:00:00 The Debate00:00:45 The Position is Cold?00:11:44 Israel Drank of Christ?00:25:55 Children Praying?00:33:11 Christ's Baptism?00:40:57 Born Again?01:00:27 Baptism and Priesthood?01:16:31 Covenant Community?Production of Reformation Baptist Church of Youngsville, NCPermanent Hosts - Dan Horn, Charles Churchill and Joshua HornTechnical Director - Timothy KaiserTheme Music - Gabriel Hudelson

Paedobaptism Is Contrary to the Gospel

Paedobaptism is contrary to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Paedobaptism is contrary to the Great Commission of Jesus Christ. Paedobaptism is not in the Bible. Paedobaptism is either dangerous error or damning heresy (depending on the individual) and needs to be exposed as such for love of Christ, His Church, and a multitude of perishing paedobaptists who are trusting in sacramental sprinkling and Jesus in the same soul damning way the Judaizers of Galatia were trusting in circumcision and Jesus (See Gal. 1:6-10 & 5:1-6). Baptism is the immersion of Holy Spirit regenerated and indwelt repentant Gospel believing confessors of Jesus Christ as Lord in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit! Sprinkling unregenerate, unconscious, unrepentant, unbelieving, unconfessing babies and then pronouncing them covenant bound Christians is not baptism. The Bible knows nothing of this. The antichrist heretical Roman Catholic Church knows it well and has been glad to lend it to a great many professing "reformed" Christians who have failed to apply Sola Scriptura and Semper Reformanda to their doctrine and practice of baptism. Just as love demands that we call our Roman Catholic neighbors to repent of their heretical baptism and believe the Gospel...love demands that we call many of our Protestants neighbors to repent of their heretical baptism and believe the Gospel. May God be pleased to purify, protect, and reform His Church.

One of the most hotly debated topics in Protestant circles is the doctrine of infant baptism, the practice of baptizing the infant children of professing believers. As we are unapologetically baptists, we disagree with this practice and believe that it goes against scripture and causes many problems in the church. In this episode, we look at some of the issues caused by the practice of infant baptism, such as how it divides the church body, creating two covenants, two baptisms, two memberships, all of which leads to a host of problems. And while we don't expect this episode to resolve the differences between Baptists and our Presbyterian brothers, we do believe that it is worth continued debate and discussion. One of the ways that we achieve unity in Christ is through truth and right doctrine, and setting important issues aside or saying that there is no right answer does not move us toward unity. Quite the opposite. Please join us as we discuss this controversial but important topic.

Who Should Be Baptized? A Covenantal Look at Credo- vs. Paedobaptism

Who should be baptized—the children of believers or only those who repent and believe on Christ? The debate between paedo- and credo-baptists has waged for centuries, and the answer hinges on how we interpret Covenant Theology. What is without question is that all of God's dealings with man are covenantal. And Scripture further makes plain that those who enter covenant with God should receive the covenant sign. The question of baptism comes down to this: What is the nature of the New Covenant, and how does one rightly enter it? In this podcast, Scott Brown and Jason Dohm, joined by special guest Robert Bosley, tackle the thorny debate between paedo- and credobaptists. Taking a robust view of Covenant Theology, they maintain that members of New Covenant are those who truly know God and have their sins forgiven: “they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more” (Jer. 31:34). The question of who should be baptized does not rest on who one's parents are, but on those whom the “Lord our God . . . call[s]” (Acts 2:39).

Baptism is an important part of being a Christian, regardless of your theological tradition. However, we can't all seem to agree upon exactly how we're supposed to do it. If you grew up in baptistic churches like us, then you have probably understood baptism to simply be an outward sign of an inward faith. But that's not how everyone sees it, even within the various Protestant and evangelical traditions. Some baptize infants. Others see baptism as not merely a symbol but an actual supernatural moment when the Holy Spirit works to regenerate the soul of the person being baptized. In this episode, we discuss the different traditions and beliefs surrounding baptism in the western Church, where they find their scriptural support, and how these views affect our faith and theology overall.

At the heart of Matthew 19:13-15 is a theme important enough to the kingdom of heaven that the gospels of Mark and Luke both include this scene. Furthermore, this passage has birthed traditions and conflict in the history of the Church around infant baptism, also known as paedobaptism. It also causes us pause in our deeper understanding that salvation is not for the adults to determine. Jesus blesses. Jesus imparts the gift of salvation, not to the rational adult alone, but also to the child with a mind and heart yet to mature. Actually, it is the heart and mind of a child that Jesus praises above the rationale of the adult mind … ‘for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven’ [19:14] Why then do we wrongly impose the mind of an adult who can reason the guilt of their sin and need for salvation upon a child who openly and ‘like a child’ runs to Jesus? Can adults accept that the reason of a child’s mind is actually more acceptable to Jesus than the reason of an adult’s mind? Actually, Jesus and the Apostles (particularly Paul) propose strong arguments against the reason of men … the vain philosophies of men. If we fail in this responsibility to bring little children to the feet of Christ, we will then suffer HIS indignation due to our hindering their path to Christ [Mark 10:14] “But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant … “ But then we must also not hinder the joy of a child from coming to Jesus either. So may I encourage us all, parents and adults in this body of believer alike, to eagerly point children to Jesus. To eagerly join them in their child-like excitement for Christ. And not to impose an over thought reason to discern whether or not one is called. We are all called in the General Revelation of God’s truth. It is the Particular Calling of the individual heart that we can overthink.

Instead, the different conclusions reached on this issue are the result of different understandings of God’s covenants.These denominations hold to their different views of baptism because they have come to different conclusions regarding the covenants of Scripture—specifically the Covenant of Grace and the New Covenant.In this episode we’ll discuss:Why understanding the Covenant of Grace and the New Covenant is crucial for understanding the baptism debateHow the Presbyterian view of these covenants lead to their views on baptizing believers and the infant children of believersHow the Baptist view of these covenants lead them to baptize only professing believersWhy comparing the Westminster Confession of Faith and the London Baptist Confession is useful in understanding the two positionsSee the Show Notes for Additional ResourcesSupport the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/reasonabletheology)

Tabular Comparison of Westminster Confession and the 1689 London Baptist Confession: https://www.proginosko.com/docs/wcf_lbcf.html===> Notice in chapter 7, the LBC deletes the definition of the covenant of works, point 2. The LBC uses the phrase "covenant of works" in several other places, but it is not defined anywhere. ===> Another anomaly in the LBC is its practical deletion of the entire chapter of the Westminster Confession on Sacraments. “Chapter XXVII: Of the Sacraments” is a robust chapter with vitally important biblical theology. The LBC changes this chapter to: “Chapter XXVIII: Of Baptism and the Lord's Supper.” It omits nearly everything and one is left wondering if there is any clearly defined sacramental theology in this confession. What about the efficacy of sacraments? What about the sign and the thing signified and the way Scripture speaks of them? How are we to understand this? Were there sacraments in the Old Testament? Did those sacraments point to entirely different spiritual realities? Did Old Testament believers have the gospel and signs which sealed it to them? Reformed Baptist, Brian Borgman's denial of a covenant of works anywhere in Scripture (go to 32:55-33:30) which is perfectly consistent with the LBC's deletion of WCF 7.2. He also asserts that all of God’s interactions with man before and after the fall are based upon a purely gracious principle: https://www.sermonaudio.com/saplayer/playpopup.asp?SID=310102025563Here is a defense I preached of the covenant of works based upon the Westminster Confession of Faith, and this covenant’s absolute necessity to sound and biblical soteriology, and how a denial of it will inevitably lead to a false gospel: https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?m=t&s=79171948349Here are my sermons on baptism: 1.

Questions Answered About Infant Baptism: https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=6141894812I checked YouTube and Brandon Adams's gross and repeated misrepresentations of my work are still there. There is no reason for him to have misunderstood what I worked hard and labored long to make clear in both sermons and the video linked above. I am convinced entirely that Brandon Adams has never read nor has he ever understood what Presbyterians believe about covenant theology and that he knows essentially nothing about it. Quoting men is far different from reading and understanding them. If he had done either he would have understood exactly what I was saying in my sermons and videos on this topic. He wrote, “He was articulating the Presbyterian position in what seemed like an odd way.” Anyone conversant with the relevant scholarship and literature on this subject would never write such a thing about my sermons and videos on these issues. There was nothing odd or unusual about my articulation of our position. The fact is, Brandon Adams neither knows nor understands what Presbyterians believe about covenant theology and baptism. At any rate, this video he put out is an example of how not to listen to sermons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HxcPyS1jzUHere is what I would recommend reading to see concise defenses of our views on covenant theology and baptism. While each of these works is lengthy, their respective sections on infant baptism are relatively short and to the point. I would recommend looking up every passage of Scripture cited in them. You will see if you read them that one’s particular take on the role of the Mosaic covenant is not part of the argument. If you own these works or purchase them, use the table of contents to take you to the sections on sacraments, baptism, and then the proper subjects of baptism. Fesko’s book is a historical and biblical survey of baptism. Toward the end, chapter 14 is an excellent summary (one of the best I have ever read). Chapter 14 it titled: “Baptism and Its Recipients”:Robert L Reymond, A New Systematic Theology of the Christian Faith, 2nd Ed.A. A. Hodge, A Commentary on the Westminster Confession of FaithLouis Berkhof, Systematic TheologyRobert L. Dabney, Systematic TheologyJ. V. Fesko, Word, Water, and Spirit: A Reformed Perspective on BaptismThis list could be far longer, but if one reads their short sections on the proper subjects of baptism, that person will have a very good handle on why we believe what we do about these things. With all deference, affection, and respect to my brethren on the other side of this issue, I do not believe they could answer the arguments and exegetical analysis of these works. I believe they can’t answer my opening statement either. I also suspect that this is the reason they are fixated upon an issue that is irrelevant to this subject instead of dealing with force of the biblical text and the historic Reformed tradition on this very important topic. I also believe this is why my opening statement was and continues to be ignored outside of Brandon’s article responding to it which I have not and do not intend to read. That’s what the debate was for and this has already consumed far more of my time than it ever should have. Had he made an opening statement with substance and biblical argumentation, I would gladly have rebutted it. Had he attempted to respond to my opening statement during the debate, I would gladly have rebutted that response. He did neither. That was his choice. It saddens me that my friends, Tim and Carlos, have very clearly been led off the track of understanding covenant theology and baptism by Brandon Adams. Although it is not relevant to the proper subjects of Baptism, I’d like to post here Dr. Robert L. Reymond’s treatment of the Mosaic covenant and the Exodus event because it is outstanding:The exodus from Egypt—the Old Testament type par excellence of biblical redemption—by divine arrangement exhibited the same great salvific principles which governed Christ’s work of atonement, both in its accomplished and applied aspects, in the New Testament, thereby teaching the elect in Israel about salvation by grace through faith in the atoning work of Messiah’s mediation.As a major feature of the Old Testament ground for the truth that “everything that was written in the past was written to teach us” (Rom. 15:4; see 1 Cor. 10:1–11, where Paul employs the exodus and certain subsequent wilderness events for this pastoral purpose), the great exodus redemption of the people of God from Egypt (and Moses’ inspired record of it) communicated God’s redemptive ways to his Old Testament people as it would do later to us, his New Testament people. That it is not reading too much into the event of the exodus to characterize it as a redemptive event is borne out by the fact that the biblical text represents it precisely that way: Exodus 6:6: “I will free you from being slaves to them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment.” Exodus 15:13: “In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed.” Deuteronomy 7:8: “But it was because the Lord loved you … that he brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the land of slavery.” Deuteronomy 9:26: “O Sovereign Lord, do not destroy your people, your own inheritance, that you redeemed by your great power and brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.” The exodus is also described as “Yahweh’s salvation” (Exod. 14:13), Moses also writing: “That day the Lord saved Israel from the hands of the Egyptians.” (Exod. 14:30). Later Stephen applied the title “redeemer” to Moses, a type of Christ (Acts 7:35). Far from their becoming after Sinai a nation living under divinely imposed constraints of legalism, the people of the Mosaic theocracy, having been delivered from their slavery as the result of the great redemptive activity of God in the exodus event, became God’s “treasured possession,” “a kingdom of priests and a holy nation” (Exod. 19:5–6; Deut. 7:6) in order to “declare the praises of him who brought them out of darkness into his marvelous light” (see 1 Pet. 2:9). In the exodus God revealed the following four great salvific principles that regulate all true salvation, taught Israel about faith in Christ, and bind the “soteriologies” of the Old and New Testaments indissolubly together into one “great salvation.”1. The exodus redemption, in both purpose and execution, originated in the sovereign, loving, electing grace of God. This principle is expressly affirmed in Deuteronomy 7:6–8: You are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession. The Lord did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples. But it was because the Lord loved you and kept the oath he swore to your fore-fathers [which oath itself was grounded in sovereign electing grace—Heb. 6:13–18] that he brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the land of slavery, from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt. (emphases supplied) And it is implied in God’s description of the nation as his “firstborn son” in Exodus 4:22–23 (see Deut. 14:1; Isa. 1:2–3; 43:6; 63:16; 64:8; Jer. 3:4; 31:9; Hos. 11:1; Mal. 1:6; 2:10), sonship from the very nature of the case being nonmeritorious and all the more so since Israel’s sonship was not sonship by nature (only God the Son is a Son of God by nature) but by adoption (Rom. 9:4). In actual execution of the exodus it is highly significant that there was little religious or moral difference between the nation of Egypt and Jacob’s descendants in Egypt: both peoples being idolatrous (Exod. 12:12; Josh. 24:14; Ezek. 23:8, 19, 21; but see Deut. 26:7 for evidence that a “remnant” still worshiped Yahweh) and sinful (Deut. 9:6–7). Accordingly, it was God himself who had to “make a distinction” between the Egyptians and the Israelites (Exod. 8:22–23; 9:4, 25–26; 10:22–23; 11:7). 2. The exodus redemption was accomplished by God’s almighty power and not by the strength of man (Exod. 3:19–20). Every detail of the exodus event was divinely arranged to highlight the great salvific truth that it is God who must save his people because they are incapable of saving themselves. God permitted Moses to attempt Israel’s deliverance at first by his own strategy and in his own strength, and allowed him to fail (Exod. 2:11–15; Acts 7:23–29). Then he sent Moses back to Egypt with the staff of God in his hand to “perform miraculous signs with it” (Exod. 4:17). God himself promised, precisely in order to “multiply” his signs that he might place his power in the boldest possible relief and this in order that both Egypt and Israel would learn that he is God, that he would harden Pharaoh’s heart throughout the course of the plagues, and he did so (Exod. 7:3; 10:1–2; 11:9; see Rom. 9:17). And the Song of Moses in Exodus 15 has as its single theme the extolling of God for his mighty power to save. There should have been no doubt in anyone’s mind after the event whose power had effected Israel’s redemption. 3. The exodus redemption, notwithstanding the two previous facts that it sprang from God’s gracious elective purpose and was accomplished by the power of God, actually delivered only those who availed themselves of the expiation of sin afforded by the efficacious covering of the blood of the paschal lamb (Exod. 12:12–13, 21–23, 24–27). This truth underscores the fact that biblical redemption is not simply deliverance by power but deliverance by price as well.21 That the paschal lamb was a “sacrifice” is expressly declared in Exodus 12:27, 34:25, and 1 Corinthians 5:7. As a biblical principle, wherever the blood of a sacrifice is shed and applied as God has directed so that he stays his judgment, the expiation or “covering” of sin has been effected. Accordingly, the exodus redemption came to its climax precisely in terms of a divinely required substitutionary atonement in which the people had to place their confidence if they were to be redeemed. As we will suggest later, Moses could have informed them of the christological significance of the paschal lamb. 4. The exodus redemption resulted in the creation of a new community liberated from slavery in order to serve its gracious new Redeemer and Lord. Again and again God ordered Pharaoh:“Let my people go that they may serve me” (see Exod. 3:18; 4:23; 5:1; 7:16; 8:1, 20; 9:1, 13; 10:3). The Bible knows nothing of a people of God springing into existence as the result of his redemptive activity who then continue to remain under the hostile power of their former master (see Rom. 6:6, 17–22; 7:4–6, 23–25; 8:2–4; 2 Cor. 5:15, 17). Though Pharaoh suggested compromises that would have resulted in something less than complete liberation for Israel (Exod. 8:25, 28; 10:11, 24), Moses would have none of it. Accordingly, Israel left Egypt completely (Exod. 12:37; 13:20), becoming a guided people (Exod. 13:21–22) and a singing people (Exod. 15), who had their sacraments (Exod. 14:21–23; 16:4, 13–15; 17:1–6; see 1 Cor. 10:2–4), and whose perseverance in their pilgrim struggles was dependent ultimately on the intercession of “the man on top of the hill” and not on their own strength and stratagems (Exod. 17:8–16). And far from Israel “rashly accepting the law” at Sinai and “falling from grace” when the nation promised its obedience to God’s law, the very preface of the Ten Commandments (Exod. 20:1–2) places these ten obligations within the context of and represents them as the anticipated outcome of the redemption which they had just experienced. So it was to be through Israel’s very obedience to God’s commandments that the nation was to evidence before the surrounding nations that it was God’s “treasured possession,” his “kingdom of priests,” and “a holy nation”—precisely the same way that the church today evidences before the watching world its relationship to God. Peter informs Christians that they, like Israel in Old Testament times, are a “chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, in order that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light” (1 Pet. 2:9). And Christians, just as Israel was to do through its obedience to God’s laws, are to show forth his praises as “aliens and strangers in the world” by “living such good lives among the pagans that … they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us” (1 Pet. 2:11–12).This final quotation is from Joel Beeke’s very scholarly work “A Puritan Theology: Doctrine for Life” from chapter 45, “The Puritans and Paedobaptism.” I’d highly encourage the reading of the entire chapter, but the following final quotation is exactly what I asserted from Scripture in my opening statement, in my sermons, and in all that I’ve written and taught on this issue: Reformed theologians have always made it clear that the warrant for paedobaptism does not come from Moses. Nowhere do we read of anyone contrasting the new covenant with the promises made to Abraham. There was indeed disagreement concerning what is meant by the “old covenant,” and how it relates to the new covenant, but Reformed theologians all affirmed that the new covenant was the fulfillment of the promises made to Abraham. Indeed, there is nothing substantially different between the Abrahamic covenant and the new covenant, except that the latter is the fulfilment of what was only a promise in the former, which is why Reformed theologians had no difficulty affirming a “covenant of grace” that included God’s gracious dealings with the church from the time of Adam to the time of Christ. One may argue that the new covenant is different in kind than the Sinaitic or old covenant, as did Owen and Goodwin, among others; but Owen and Goodwin could join with those who viewed old and new covenants as one in substance to affirm paedobaptism because all agreed that the command to baptize infants was based on the perpetual promises made to Abraham, the father of many nations, and not derived from any law or ordinance of Moses. Of course, the argument that Abraham, not Moses, provides the rationale for paedobaptism has been acknowledged by the more learned antipaedobaptists.These are my final comments.

This week the guys sat down with Andy's pastor, Adam Viramontes, and discussed the case for paedobaptism- the practice of baptising the children (even infants) of believers. The conversation ranged from Adam's personal story of embracing paedobaptism, to the nature of God's covenant with his people. We hope that you find this episode challenging and interesting!  For an easy read on the subject, you can get the book "Christian Baptism" by John Murray here: https://www.heritagebooks.org/products/christian-baptism-murray.html If you have any questions, comments, episode suggestions, etc., you can visit us online at theologydoesntsuck.com
