“Rather, confessional doctrine should be necessarily contained in Holy Scripture.”

“It is now my clear understanding that baptism is the outward sign of entrance into the New Covenant by the inward circumcision of the heart, the circumcision of Christ. This inward circumcision is exhibited outwardly by one’s personal repentance and confession of Christ as Lord and is signified to others by the baptism of disciples alone. This is credobaptism. As the Old Testament children entered the Abrahamic Covenant through circumcision of the flesh, sealed individually by the righteousness of faith, so our New Covenant children enter the New Covenant by the individual circumcision of the heart, sealed by the Holy Spirit, revealed in their confession of faith, and signified by the sign of the baptism—the baptism of disciples alone.”

“Even if one could infer infant baptism as a plausible consequence of certain Scriptural teachings, as pearls strung on a string, it would still contradict all that the Scripture positively institutes, instructs and provides as examples concerning the subjects of baptism which is expressly set down in Scripture. Good and necessary inference is not a valid hermeneutic when defining the subjects of a sacrament supposedly “instituted by Christ” (WCF 21:5).”
