Book Description

Excerpt from The Sacrament of Responsibility, or Testimony of Scripture to the Teaching of the Church on Holy Baptism: With Special Reference to the Case of Infants, and Answers to Objections The Bishop of Exeter had refused to institute Mr. Gorham to a living because, on examination, he seemed not to hold absolutely the Regeneration of all Infants in Holy Baptism. The Bishop took his stand upon the plain words of the Baptismal Service. If Mr. Gorham administered Baptism to Infants in the words of that Service, he must assert, in the face of God and of the congregation, respecting each particular infant, that as soon as ever he had baptized it, it was regenerate.
