Baptism as taught in the Bible and the Prayer Book, by Edward Hoare 52747 [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/5/2/7/4/52747 ] [Files: 52747-0.txt; 52747-h.htm] For those wishing to know: Rev. Edward Hoare goes through the standard teaching of the Church of England on baptism and looks at it in the Bible and the church's Prayer book. As most dissenters would claim the Church of England wasn't following the Bible, Hoare adopts the argument that baptism wasn't done AFTER proof of genuine conversion, but was instead taking a person at their word. He allows infant baptism by saying it is taking the word of the Christian parents. Doubt he satisified anyone! All the best, David, England, clear skies and cool breeze
