Rhantism Versus Baptism, or Infant Sprinkling Against Christian Immersion: In Which the Arguments for the Former Practice Are Examined and Confuted, and the Scriptural Authority for the Latter Clearly

By Seacome Ellison

Book Overview

Rhantism Versus Baptism: Or Infant Sprinkling Against Christian Immersion is a book written by Ellison Seacome in 1835. The book is a critical analysis of the practice of infant sprinkling in Christianity, which is also known as paedobaptism, and compares it with the practice of Christian immersion, also known as adult baptism or believer's baptism. Seacome argues that infant sprinkling is not biblically supported and that it goes against the teachings of Christ. He believes that Christian immersion is the only true form of baptism and that it should be reserved for those who have made a conscious decision to follow Christ. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which deals with a different aspect of the debate between infant sprinkling and Christian immersion. Seacome provides a historical overview of the two practices, examines their theological implications, and offers a detailed analysis of the scriptural evidence for each. Rhantism Versus Baptism is a significant work in the history of Christian theology and has influenced many subsequent discussions on the subject of baptism. It is a valuable resource for scholars, theologians, and anyone interested in the history and practice of Christian baptism.In Which The Arguments For The Former Practice Are Examined And Confuted, And The Scriptural Authority For The Latter Clearly Exhibited.
