Class 3:
An
argument from silence implies that something is true because it has not been
proved false, or vice versa. Not all
arguments from silence are fallacious. A fallacy would depend upon the burden
of proof in the argument.
How do
arguments from silence apply to the discussion over infant baptism?
1. In the O.T. all the children of professing believers were to be included
among the visible people of God and treated as heirs to the promise, though
they were not all elect. (Genesis 17:7-14; 18-23; Romans 9: 1-8)
2. From the set of all those who were to be included among the people of God,
all those who could possibly (physically) receive the sign of the covenant were
to bear the mark of inclusion in the covenant. (Genesis 17:10-13)
3. The sign of entrance into the old economy (circumcision) was abrogated.
(Gal. 1-6)
4. All those who are to be treated as among the people of God and can possibly
(physically) receive the sign under the newer economy are to receive baptism. (Matt.
28: 18-20; Acts 2:38; Galatians 3:27; Romans 6:3-7)
4a.
Baptism replaced circumcision. (Colossians 2:11-13)
5. Nowhere in God’s word are we told not to treat the children of professing
believers as being part of the people of God. (Argument from silence)
Since (as Baptists agree) the visible people of God are to receive baptism (pt.
4 above), and God has not told us not to count the children of professing
believers as part the visible people of God (pt. 5 above), the sound conclusion
is that the children of professing believers are to be baptized.
In order to argue against the above argument for paedobaptism
one would have to employ a fallacious argument from silence (ad ignorantiam). The paedobaptism
argument is sound if for no other reason – it is fallacious to argue that God
has rearranged his precepts regarding the status of covenant children based
upon the absence of a reiteration of the original status of covenant children.
Simply put, it is fallacious to argue that the Baptist position is true unless
proven false! Rather, the burden of proof is upon the Baptist to show that the
status of children for the whole of redemptive history has been overturned by a
divine explication or good and necessary inference.
Corroborating
Evidence:
1. Luke
18: 15-17 (Babes brought to Jesus)
2.
Ephesians 6:1, 4; Colossians 3:20, 21 (Children
instructed in the Lord)
3. 1
Corinthians 7:14 (Children
considered holy)
4. Acts 16:15, 33, 34; 1 Corinthians 1:16 (Household Baptism)
5. Church
History (If the apostolic teaching was
overthrown so to baptize infants in the early church, which church history
records, then why was there no debate on the matter?)
6.
There’s no instance in the NT of a covenant child coming to faith and then
being baptized
NOTE: All
of the believer-baptisms in the NT corroborate both positions since the paedobaptistic position (and the Baptist position) includes
and allows for the practice of adults coming to faith and being baptized.
What is the meaning
of baptism?
Institution: Matthew 28:19
Import: “Baptizing in the name” expresses relationship: 1 Cor.
1: 13-15; 1 Cor. 10:2
What kind of relationship does Christian baptism denote?
Romans 6:3-6; 1 Cor. 12:13; Gal. 3:27-28; Col. 2:11-12
Answer: Union with Christ and in him with the
Trinity (in his crucifixion, death, burial and resurrection) Discuss
God
places his name upon his own: Numbers 6:24-27; Ephesians 3:14-15; and this
comes to its fullest expression in Christian Trinitarian-baptism.
