Are you guys CREC?

Very true.

He really meant that a church that isn’t meeting because of Covid at this point isn’t a church you can trust. However, baptism done unto the Triune God are legitimate, regardless of the state of the church. Baptism itself really comes down to one’s interpretation of scripture and it’s something that unarguable should be done, by the way in which they are done there is room for much debate. The important thing is to have stance and not sit idle about it. If you believe in believers baptism and were baptized post conversion, as long as it was done unto the Triune God, there is no need to be rebaptized no matter the state of that church (as long as they aren’t outright cults or false religions like Mormonism, JWs, Universalist, etc) If it was done when you were a baby or young child before conversion and your conviction is that it should be done post conversion, then I would council towards rebaptisim.

Baptism is a sign of God's promises to His people. Any man or institution which administers baptism is to one degree or another lacking in faithfulness but God is faithful regardless.

Agreed. I’m 1689, but I could happily belong in membership to a Presbyterian church, so long as the pastor had a spine.

You're fine. He said small settings without church leadership, like parents baptizing their kids in lockdown. Your dad's comment is highly questionable. I've never heard of anyone self-baptizing with sand.

Presbys and Reformed Baptists unite!

You could always listen to the Doug Wilson and James White debate to get a better understanding. I agree with Pastor Joel here.

@@RightResponseMinistries To me, and I could be wrong, the baptism issue (though I am strong in my Baptist roots) is minor. Presbyterians have a valid reason for pedobaptism. I just prefer the Baptist. Small request: If you could ever do a video on the differences between historical and modern Baptist and Presbyterian, that would be a Christmas wish come true.

@@jakeabbatacola5092 I could do a video like that regarding Baptists, historic and modern. But someone else would have to do it for Presbyterians.

@@RightResponseMinistries It would be interesting to hear your take/summary on the the Baptist denomination, and it’s strengths and pitfalls. While I agree with the tenants of the Baptist, I feel like a lot of “Baptist sentiments” have been twisted and exploited into what is now the modern evangelical megachurch in America. What I know of traditional Presbyterianism I like, though I’ve heard the PCUSA has gone liberal. That was the reason for my “comparison request.” Obviously, don’t let me dictate what your content. Keep up the good work.

Agreed.

I agree brother. I would be on the side of James White on this debate. But I am incredibly blessed by so many other things from Doug Wilson.

Presbyterians do not affirm the RC position. Covenant Baptism as practiced by Presbys is not baptismal regeneration. As to acceptance of the baptism we accept Baptist baptism even though their theology of baptism is wrong.
