“For God had made it clear to Abraham that ‘your offspring’ was not to be taken to mean ‘children after they have grown to years of discretion and have decided for themselves’, but specifically was defined as the eight-day-old infant.[24] The sign marks the recipient of the covenant promises. God’s promise embraces the parent and his child, and it is the obedience of the covenant parent to pass on and confer the sign to the child.”

“the Book of Common Prayer says what Scripture says. It uses the same straightforward, radical, striking language as Scripture does, in associating the blessings with baptism; and then, like Scripture, it proceeds to insist that the outward signs are conditionally efficacious, being moral instruments of spiritual benefit.”

“Redemption is participatory, not imitative. It is grounded on grace appropriated through faith, not merely on obedience. Spiritual life flows out of union with Christ, not merely imitation of Christ.”
