Bertha and Her Baptism

CHAPTER Sixth
16/37

"Compare Acts 18: 8, and 1 Cor.

1:14--16, by which it appears that this Crispus was baptized by Paul separately from his family, which was not baptized by Paul.

Yet Crispus 'believed on the Lord with all his house.' If his house believed, it was baptized.

It was, then, a baptized household.

But if we believe that the family of Crispus was baptized because we find it registered as believing, then we must admit the same of all other families which we find marked as Christians, though they be not expressly marked as baptized." He is not proving, here, you notice, that there were children in any of these households; he thinks he proves that elsewhere, by the doctrine of chances.
