Talk:Infant baptism (view source)
Revision as of 12:39, November 27, 2019
, 12:39, November 27, 2019→RobS's position, simplified: correction of false statement "Water Baptism is a physical act one must physically perform and is therefore a work."
:Let me add a qualifier. I am not expounding a Protestant doctrine - quite the opposite. I speak as a Roman Catholic who was baptized at birth whom was chosen to be an heir of salvation, but only ''after'' I renounced any claim to eternal life based upon errant doctrine.

::Above is a [[Putting words into someone's mouth|false summary statement]] "''Water Baptism is a physical act one must physically perform and is therefore a work.''" No, it isn't. No baptized person is self-baptized. The one who is baptized does not perform the work. It is a grace, a totally unmerited gift bestowed, that no one can perform for himself, it can't be earned. It is done '''''to''''' the baptized, not done '''''by''''' the baptized. --[[User:Dataclarifier|Dataclarifier]] ([[User talk:Dataclarifier|talk]]) 07:39, 27 November 2019 (EST)
