I have a simple question for paedo-communion advocates on the forum: What organization/person/church-movement disseminating this view led you to your present conviction? Thanks!

Brother,
I guess what I meant by "Sweet!" was what a blessing it is to have a place where brothers can openly disagree, be charitable and gentle with one another, and demonstrate a quiet spirit of humility. Some on this board do a really good job of being obedient in this particular area. These things are especially important since I think we would all be in support (at least in name!) of the notion of "semperreformanda." But I agree with you, poison's bad. So is bitterness. Be sure to stay away from both those things yourself as well, brother. Thanks for the reminder.

Lord willing Tim Gallant's book will have a review, a reply from Gallant, and a response from the reviewer in the 2006 issue of The Confessional Presbyterian. www.cpjournal.com
While I'm not any happier than Scott on the impact of Paedocommunion in our circles, I would say Paedocommunion has been an issue around conservative Presbyterians since before 1985 when it came up in both the OPC and PCA. Both Richard Bacon's and Leonard Coppes' works against Paedocommunion are both at least 15 years old by now I think. Dr. Bacon's work has been our church's website since 1996. http://www.fpcr.org/blue_banner_articles/meanye1.htm

Scott,
No problem. I would agree that the level of interest has increased; but that train has been chugging along for at least 20 or 25 years as I wrote; the Internet has simply made it move faster.

You don't believe FV has anything to do with the interest?

In that case, prescribe Poythress; he did not redefine justification like FV does.

First of all, the book is about paedocommunion, not justification. So your unfounded assertion that Gallant is FV is moot.
Second, Poythress hasn't written a book on paedocommunion. If he did, then I would probably prescribe it.
Third, I would recommend a book by Sproul Jr., if he would write it. In fact, in the most recent magazine from Draught Horse Press (a.k.a. Cumberland Books) basically said that R. C. Sproul Jr. would have written a PC book if Gallant hadn't already beaten him to the punch.
--- In other words, a lot of guys like Poythress, Sproul, etc. are not writing PC books because there is already a good one out there. So why should they bother to duplicate Gallant's efforts?
Finally, who says Gallant is FV? And who gets to decide who is "FV"? Does Gallant consider himself a FV advocate? If so, I am not aware of it.
