Universalism, Racism... Paedobaptism?
March 20, 2009
In a recent column over at 9 Marks, our good friend Mark Dever offered a list of things he can and cannot abide with in a church. Only three items fell into Dever's "can't abide with them" category: universalism, racism, and paedobaptism. Wow. We paedobaptists are accustomed to abuse from our Baptist friends, but things are really getting out of hand. Items that were more tolerable to Mark included women elders, altar calls, no church membership, and human sacrifice (okay, I'm joking about the last one). But I wouldn't have been surprised if human sacrifice had rated higher than infant baptism. Universalism, racism, infant baptism -- really?
