Baptist History, Heritage and Distinctives
What are the Teachings of Ecclesiastical History
Catholic/Protestant Unscriptural Baptisms
PART NINE

“Christ never had an enemy like this; so able to pervert the way of truth into falsehood, insomuch that the true church, with her children, is trodden under foot.”

One of the marks of an Antichristian system, or Antichrist, these Waldensian Baptists declare to be— “He teaches to baptize children into the faith, and attributes to this [baptism] the work of regeneration, thus confounding the work of the Holy Spirit in regeneration, with the external rite of baptism.”

Do not all Pedobaptist sects do this, as well as the mother church, of which they are branches, or the daughters?

The Romish church says that “baptism is necessary to salvation.

The Greek, or Eastern Church, which finally separated from the Roman, or Western church, about 1054, maintained that whoever is baptized by “immersion, is regenerated, cleansed, and justified.”

The Swiss church says that, by baptism, we are “received into the covenant and family, and so into the inheritance of the sons of God.” The Bohemian church says that, in baptism; the Lord “washeth away sin, begetteth a man again, and bestoweth salvation.”

The Confession of Augsburg says, “Baptism is necessary for salvation.”

The Confession of Saxony says, “by this dipping the sins be washed away.”

The Episcopal Church of England says, by baptism we are “made members of Christ and children of God.”

The Westminster Assembly say, in their confession, baptism “is a seal of grace, of our engrafting into Christ – of regeneration, adoption, and life eternal.”

The Confession of Helvetia says that, by baptism, the Lord “doth regenerate us and cleanse us from our sins.”

The Confession of France says that, by baptism, “We are engrafted into Christ’s body.”
