Argument 6 John’s Baptism Infant baptisers insist that when John the Baptist baptised he did so on the same principle as that which governed the Jews when they circumcised infants. Hanko, for instance, said that ‘baptism was about to take the place of circumcision’, but the change-over was smooth, since this was ensured by the continuity between the two Testaments. We have looked at these claims in previous pages, and found them mistaken; baptism did not replace circumcision, the church did not exist in the Old Testament, and while there is some continuity between the Testaments, the real discontinuity between them must not be glossed over. Nevertheless, based on the faulty foundation he had laid, Hanko proceeded to assert that the principle under which John baptised was ‘believers and their seed’. This claim must be measured against Scripture.
