Baptism issues
Rick Lindholtz is concerned about the development of an overly-baptistic theology of baptism in the Covenant. He uses information from one church website as a case study.

One of the lines that I homed in on when reading that same site was -- "A believer is someone who has decided to trust Christ alone for his or her salvation."

I'm inclined to agree with Rick. That's a somewhat inaccurate statement. Rather, a believer is someone who trusts Christ alone for his or her salvation. While a decision is involved at some point -- and in an ongoing way daily -- it is not through a decision per se that we embrace Christ but through faith. That is, there are lots of people who have genuinely with full intention and emotion decided to follow Christ but who have not exercised any actual faith and done so.

For we maintain that a person is justified by faith... Romans 3:23

We embrace Christ through faith. It is not the decision that we're going to have faith that counts. I know that it sounds like I am nit picking words. But it affects what we ultimately emphasize in baptism and in our walk with Christ.
