Great Sermon! Dear Rev. Roberts, I must confess my total ignorance of the current state of affairs in the BPC. Thank you for helping me to better understand that subject.
A different take Dr Clary: Your comments about the Bible Presbyterian Church during the Q&A time need to be updated! The BPC, as you know, are in full fraternal relations with the OPC, and we send an observer to NAPARC. I don't think the BPC is any more social gospel conservative than many who are in the OPC. There may be a few fundamentalist remnants in the BPC but that no longer typifies the Synod. I am A-millennial, I have no issues with those who are either teetollars or consumers. When I left the PCA to became part of the BPC I had NO challenges at all to my views, and I know of others with the same experience. (BTW, you and I are both graduates of WTS and of ETS!)---with sincere thanks for you and your ministry,
Dr Charles H Roberts, Pastor Reedy River Bible Presbyterian Church

I'm wondering I'm not sure how to answer your question. I think whether one believes in infant baptism or not, 1 Cor. 7:14 can be used to support infant baptism.
I'm wondering... If I'm a member of a Presbyterian church who was baptized as a baby, and I no longer agree anymore with the practice of infant baptism, could I use the logic of I Cor. 7:14 to say that I want to have my own baby baptized while NOT agreeing with the practice? I'm asking because I know of Presbyterian churches that will bar membership for a family if the children are not baptized, so could I Cor. 7:14 be used as an argument of the validity of baptism of a child of one who does NOT agree with baptism of infants?
i am appreciating your teachings in HEbrews. A friend named Dorothy introduced me to your Sermons and I am appreciating very much being able to hear them. I believe you you taught Hebrews 6 with the greatest clarity I have heard. I thank The Lord for giving us such as you to open the word of God for us. thank you, SAH43
