Why Your Reformed/Calvinist/Evangelical/Baptist Friends Disagree with the Lutheran Doctrine of Baptism (And Why It Makes Them Cranky When You Assert It!) When you get down to it, I don't understand (any longer) how people could argue with Martin Luther on this one. But I will confess, I let some of my brief Baptist upbringing delay the baptism of my oldest daughter by a year and a half. The Rev. Paul McClain does a good job explaining differences.
