The Eudaimonia Blog

As I re-engage the world of blogging, you must all enjoy how two of my last three posts have been “correction” posts, lol. But here’s my correction, University Chapel is not affiliated with a Baptist denomination from what I can tell on their website, rather is interdenominational. I made this wrong assumption since today we experienced Calvin’s friend getting baptized on profession of faith at the age of eighteen, a practice sometimes known as the practice of credobaptism, in distinction from those who are a part of a church like Grace Van that practices what’s known as paedobaptism. The paedobaptistic read on Scripture emphasizes that covenant children who are a part of the Church are candidates for baptism when they are young, as a part of inclusion into the covenant promises of God and that we do adult baptisms whenever someone comes to the faith from outside the church family. There are many reasons for these differences of view, but the main point in the post is regardless of doctrinal persuasion, we still worship the same God and share the same apostolic faith as embodied in the historic creeds of the church. We are One at the core of our profession of faith in Christ.
