I am convinced that believers should be baptized in water. Happily, I am not thus compelled to choose between two evils, but am free to walk in the light as I see the light. It is my purpose in this article to set forth my reasons for saying, as I have often said, that infant baptism is responsible for sending more people to Hell than any other cause. From my point of view it is a dreadful thing to baptize a baby and let him grow up believing that by that baptism he has been saved and is on his way to Heaven.
Infant baptism has no warrant in the Scriptures.
Many efforts have been made to find such warrant, but these efforts are too feeble to merit serious consideration. The question here is the bringing of infants who are too young to come by themselves. There is no authority for such a thing. In church history there is no record of infant baptism until the year 370. It resulted from the doctrine of baptismal regeneration, the teaching that baptism is essential to salvation.
