Sinopsis

Excerpt from Christian Baptism: Its Subjects

Those who think with Mr. Gamble, that if there is any controverted question which should be examined more carefully than any other, it is infant baptism, will not complain of the size of this book. No investigation, says he, can be too minute, and no study too laborious, if we would thoroughly understand this Divine revelation. With such knowledge and means as were possessed, I have endeavoured to record instruction on most aspects of the baptismal controversy, so that the doubting inquirer, without reading the whole, might read on the particular theme of his own perplexity. Were this or a similar book to be read by the many, I should feel as sincerely, if not as deeply, sorry as some of my Paedobaptist brethren. Were a worthy epitome of this work to be read by hundreds of thousands of Paedobaptists and Baptists I should be thankful.

Excerpt from Christian Baptism: Its Subjects
I believe that obvious and undeniable reasons for departing from immersion, or for baptizing any other than those who, so far as we can judge, receive the word, with the heart believing, have no existence and that the amount of quibbling, equivocation, contradiction of themselves, of one another, and of God's word, by those who have written in defence of infant sprinkling, can be imagined by no man who has not read the works of Paedobaptists on this subject. Although God's word - whether it be myself or my opponents that are in error - is sufficient for all who are free from improper bias, I believe that the works of our opponents, compared and contrasted with themselves, with one another, and with God's word, constitute a mirror in which some might very profitably behold themselves and their productions. Yet I would not recommend this glass in preference to the mirror of Divine truth, in which on baptism Mr. Pengilly and others have beheld and examined themselves, and to their surprise have found Scripture entirely silent on the baptism of infants, the use of sponsors, and the introduction by baptism into God's covenant and sealed blessings.
