The Impotent Argument Against Biblical Baptism

Written by W.A. Mackay in 1884

The original title was Immersion & Immersionists or the more formal title: “Immersion: Proved to be Not a Scriptural Mode of Baptism, but a Romish Invention & Immersionists: Show to be Disregarding Divine Authority In Refusing Baptism to the Infant Children of Believers.”

We are deeply impressed with the fact that the ordinace of Christian baptism in the nature, design, mode and subjects does not receive the attention in our Paedo-Baptist pulpits, that it’s importance demands, especially in view of another fact, that our people are being constantly assailed as to the scriptural warrant of our practice (Covenental baptism). Many of our people have been twenty or thirty years listening to sermons, and yet have never heard this subject clearly and impressively brought home to mind. This lack in the pulpit is, we fear, but very imperfectly supplied by Bible-class, Sunday Schoo, or home instruction.

“If”, one says, “the magnitude of an error is to be determined by the tyranny it exercises over its defenders and the dishonesty it requires of the in its support, then the Baptist system deserves to be ranked among the first and worst of religious errors of modern times.” W.A. Mackay 1884
