In a recent thread on Paedobaptism, I was charged w/ eisegesis when I made mention that the fact that we see no children (under the age of adulthood) coming to faith and receiving the sign of the covenant is important when discussing the validity of paedobaptism. My emphasis was placed on the culture of the Jews in the book of Acts and how they saw their children in light of federal headship. I was told that I 'am reading too much into the text'.
In my opinion, a sound hermeneutic would be to consider the culture of the people we are discussing. Do u agree?
