The Case Against Infant Baptism

An Irish clergyman has published a work on "Infant Baptism." This is claimed as his improved patent:—
"Mr. Robinson makes overpowering use of the principle that what was sanctioned or commanded in the Old Testament is still in force in the Christian Church, unless it is repealed in the New Testament or shown by the example of our Lord or his apostles that it is no longer to be used."
That looks sensible, and if he could only find that "infant baptism" was "sanctioned or commanded" in the Old Testament it would be almost "overpowering." But this is just where his principle cannot be applied, for infant baptism is not in the Old Testament any more than in the New.—Baptist Weekly.
