A funny infant baptism quote

[biblelighthouse]

I have been reading "Candid reasons for renouncing the principles of anti-paedobaptism" by Pastor Peter Edwards. (Edwards was a Baptist minister for 10 years before finally realizing that paedobaptism is Biblical!)

It is a great book, with excellent Scriptural arguments for infant baptism.

Nevertheless, I happened upon a quote in the book that was just too much . . . I cracked up! I hope you get a grin out of it too:

Well, and what then? Why, according to Mr. Booth the argument will run thus: the priests were changed, and the role of worship was changed, therefore the church was essentially altered, therefore infants were excluded. Is not this a good inference, The priests were changed, therefore infants were excommunicated? It might have been so, if the priests had all been infants; but even then it would only have concluded against infant priests. . . .

The quote is indeed laughable.

I must be missing something because I think it was a lame attempt at humor... I think it is much more humorous to just read Baptist arguments.
