@thisisfoster The nature of the NT church is exclusively for believers while the nature of OT Israel is a mixed community of believers and unbelievers has convinced me that the sign of the covenant is to be administered on the basis of the nature of the people of God in either covenants.
@IndianaBrunner@gavinortlund Catholics can affirm that salvation is by grace through faith and the call it initial justification.

@FoundersMin@DrDanger1689 Itโs a misleading article on a few points because there are many wrong assumptions and misrepresentations of the ERAS position here in this article. ERAS proponents affirms the human will, they donโt deny it. ERAS affirms the hypostatic union. Misleading for sure

@haymes_joshua Iโve done a write up on why Iโm convinced on the matter and have come to believe that credobaptism is a biblically credible position to hold. If youโll be keen, Iโm happy to send it for your consideration.
