In this new series, Pastors Zac and Brandon answer objections to Infant Baptism. This episode explores the question: Is the Greek word Baptizó only properly translated as "Immersion"? Can the word be used in other ways, such as to "wash" or to "pour"? Furthermore, are sprinkling and pouring also valid modes of baptism?

In this new series, Pastors Zac and Brandon answer objections to Infant Baptism. This episode explores the question: who is a member of the New Covenant? Is it only those who make a credible profession, or is it believers along with their children? Does Jeremiah 31 teach that only the regenerate will be New Covenant members? Furthermore, does Hebrews 10:29 teach us that the New Covenant is "mixed" - that is, does it include, as previous covenants have, those who are "in the covenant but not of the covenant" (see: Herman Bavinck, Reformed Dogmatics, 3:232)?
