George Beasley-Murray

So that was, so you see, I have a sort of sudden cussed nature about me.

And then to bring it to a conclusion, some years later, I was reading a book by George Beasley Murray, who was a very distinguished Baptist scholar.

And he points out that in the New Testament, baptism isn't so much baptism of believers as baptism at the point of conversion.

And then I realized that, well, actually, if that's true, then whatever happens to children in a Christian home is going to be different.

And that opened my mind to the idea that maybe there was a place for

infant baptism.

So I was persuaded against infant baptism by the infant baptism writer Pierre Marcel, and sort of persuaded that maybe it did have a place by the distinguished Baptist scholar George Beasley Murray.

Well, Beasley Murray was also very helpful for me.
