Question 72 · Of the Sacraments

May not the Infant Seed of Believers under the Gospel be baptized as well as the Infant Seed of Abraham under the Law was circumcised?

No; For Abraham had a Command then from God to circumcise his Infant Seed, but Believers have no Command to baptise their Infants Seed under the Gospel.

Genesis 17:9–12
