Acts 2:39 & Infant Baptism: A Comprehensive Critique

 


Hello and welcome. In this article, we will examine a popular prooftext used to argue for Paedobaptism,  which is Acts 2:39. This prooftext often goes in tandem with and/or built off of a particular understanding of the biblical covenants which lends itself to Paedobaptism. We've covered the covenantal unity argument for Paedobaptism in this article here. We won't be rehashing all of our thoughts on that here. Instead, our focus will be on contextually analyzing Acts 2:39 and critiquing the Paedobaptist interpretations of the verse.
