John Gill's Defenses of Credobaptism [Disciples Baptism] Against Paedobaptism [Infant Baptism]

 

 I'm a Calvinistic continuationist Baptist. I appreciate my Christian brethren who believe in infant baptism, but I'm not yet convinced of paedobaptism. Here are some classic materials defending credobaptism by well known 18th century Baptist scholar and theologian John Gill.
