Early Church Texts Led Me to Adopt, then Reject, Infant Baptism - David Bercot

When David Bercot was an Anglican priest, he believed in infant baptism and thought this was the position of the early church. Over time, he reevaluated this belief. In this episode he describes why he became convinced infant baptism was not the position of the early church.
