As for the baptism issue I am a Presbyterian so I believe in infant baptism but in a covenental sense rather then seeing it as a sort of means to grace. I do wrestle though with the clear New Testement teaching that Baptism was administered to believers, and just the meaning of the word literally points to immersion rather than sprinkling.

I hold to infant baptism mainly seeing it as the New Covenant counter part to circumcision. This was done to both adults and infants who were becoming part of the covenant. It (circumcision) was intended to point to a heart consecrated to God, likewise I see baptism as a pointer to our being united to Christ and part of the new covenant. Also, as far as baptising my children, I just view raising my children as discipling, and a disciple should be baptised right? I don’t want to treat my kids like the are heathen and not have the sign of the covenant.
