THE MEANING AND MODE OF CHRISTIAN BAPTISM HOMEPAGE.

---

"Why is it the will of God that unbelievers and impenitent sinners should not be baptized? It is because he denies them the grace, he will not grant them the sign. If, therefore, God denies the sign to the infant seed of believers, it must be because he denies them the grace of it; and then all the children of believing parents dying in their infancy, must without hope perish."—James Milligan, A Plea for Infant Baptism. (1818).
