“Tell me, what privilege is it for a poor infant to have a little water sprinkled upon him? Will it confer grace, or will it not? Will it regenerate, as you have been taught? O ignorance! The Lord cause it to vanish! Can the infant, [even] if elected, make any use of this ordinance, or receive anything held forth in it to the eye of faith? No! He cannot! Faith is required in those that participate in gospel ordinances. Indeed, men and women are to be baptised because they are regenerate, not to regenerate them.[148]”
