The True Scripture Doctrine of the Mode and Subjects of Christian Baptism (Classic Reprint): With Some Strictures on Dr. Gill's Sentiments of the ... to a Candid Antipædobaptist (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A probing, firsthand look at a historic debate over baptism. This six-letter dialogue argues for infant baptism and a broad view of who belongs in the church.

Henry Mayo’s polemical work presents a series of letters that defend infant baptism and argue for a comprehensive view of the church’s membership. The text examines how baptism should be administered, who qualifies as a subject, and how biblical precedent supports including children in God’s covenant people. While sharply critical of some contemporary positions, it aims to clarify the scriptural basis for baptism and church inclusion.

Readers will encounter a historical argument about church practice, covenant promises, and how different modes of baptism have been interpreted. The writing engages with theological figures of its time and explores how tradition, Scripture, and pastoral care intersect in the life of a Christian community.
