In his very short chapter on church history Malone wrongly presents Tertullian as a credobaptist, ignores Origen’s claim that infant baptism was universal at his time, Augustine’s claim that he had never met a credobaptist, and the 66 ministers at the Synod of Carthage assuming paedobaptism and deciding it should not be held off until the 8th day.

Intro and ch. 1 were great. He says that many Baptists become Presbyterians because they find greater Reformed fellowship there and allow baptism to be a secondary issue. He calls Baptists back to their Reformed roots expressed in the London Baptist Confession of 1689 and shows that “good and necessary inference,” as John Murray says, is not sufficient to establish our understanding of any sacrament.

I’ve only read the preface and feel like I don’t even need to read the rest lol. He shows that paedobaptism contradicts the regulative principle of worship and that an instituted sacrament of the church must be based on explicit New Testament commands and not good and necessary inferences to the Old Testament.
