Baptismal Regeneration - Other Groups Accused of Teaching Baptismal Regeneration

Other Groups Accused of Teaching Baptismal Regeneration

Within North American Protestantism, the subject has been debated. In a written debate with E. Calvin Beisner of the Evangelical Free Church of America, Jim R. Everett defended what he saw as the teaching of the Church of Christ on baptismal regeneration in a series of articles that appeared in The Preceptor beginning in May 1983. Douglas A. Foster denies this contention regarding the Restoration Movement, a contention denied also by other representatives of the movement. Gregory A, Boyd says that Oneness Pentecostals teach what he calls baptismal regeneration. The publication Vantage Point attributes what it calls baptismal regeneration to "Roman Catholicism, Seventh-day Adventism, Mormonism, United Pentecostalism (and other Oneness churches), most Churches of Christ and Eastern Orthodoxy".

Famous quotes containing the words groups, accused, teaching and/or regeneration:

    In America every woman has her set of girl-friends; some are cousins, the rest are gained at school. These form a permanent committee who sit on each other’s affairs, who “come out” together, marry and divorce together, and who end as those groups of bustling, heartless well-informed club-women who govern society. Against them the Couple of Ehepaar is helpless and Man in their eyes but a biological interlude.
    Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)

    When Catholicism goes bad it becomes the world-old, world-wide religio of amulets and holy places and priestcraft. Protestantism, in its corresponding decay, becomes a vague mist of ethical platitudes. Catholicism is accused of being too much like all the other religions; Protestantism of being insufficiently like a religion at all. Hence Plato, with his transcendent Forms, is the doctor of Protestants; Aristotle, with his immanent Forms, the doctor of Catholics.
    —C.S. (Clive Staples)

    ... teaching to me was anathema, chiefly because it would condemn me to a world of petticoats.
    Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)

    The republic, as I at least understand it, means association, of which liberty is only an element, a necessary antecedent. It means association, a new philosophy of life, a divine Ideal that shall move the world, the only means of regeneration vouchsafed to the human race.
    Giuseppe Mazzini (1805–1872)
