11:27AM - Good question...

The CT article Young, Restless, Reformed has generated some interesting discussion in the blogosphere. For example, Jenell Paris points out that all the people featured in the article are white males. On the other hand, David Koyzis notes that they're almost all Baptists. This raises the issue of whether being a Reformed Baptist is a consistent position, and thus prompts Koyzis to ask the following question:

If salvation comes, not from our decision for Christ, but from his choosing us, then wouldn't it be more appropriate to adopt a view of baptism as a sign of God's grace rather than one reflecting a voluntary profession of belief?
