importantly to change their eternal destiny from hell to
heaven.
a. Baptism – sprinkle of water versus immersion to water
b. Baptism – infant don’t have faith and baptism required
faith
c. Original sin – introduce in the 2nd century by Irenaeus,
Bishop of Lyons
-was popularized by Augustine (354 to 431), the
bishop of Hippo, declared that a baby, from the moment
of conception, is guilty of the original sin of Adam

18. FALSE DOCTRINE – INFANT
BAPTISM
EZEKIEL 18:19-20
Yet you ask, ‘Why does the son not share the guilt of
his father?’ Since the son has done what is just and
right and has been careful to keep all my decrees, he
will surely live. 20
The one who sins is the one who
will die. The child will not share the guilt of the parent,
nor will the parent share the guilt of the child. The
righteousness of the righteous will be credited to them,
and the wickedness of the wicked will be charged against
them.
