An Apology for the Rite of Infant Baptism and for the Usual Modes of Baptizing (1806)

An Apology For The Rite Of Infant Baptism And For The Usual Modes Of Baptizing is a book written by John Reed in 1806. The book is a defense of the practice of infant baptism and the traditional methods of performing the sacrament. Reed argues that infant baptism is a biblical practice and that it is necessary for the salvation of children who die before they are able to make a conscious decision to accept Jesus Christ as their savior. He also defends the use of sprinkling or pouring water on the head of the infant, rather than full immersion, as a valid and acceptable method of baptism. The book is written in a clear and concise style, with numerous references to scripture and the writings of early Christian theologians. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and theology of baptism in the Christian tradition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
