Maybe someone can give the reference, but J.I. Packer once reportedly (I have a very reliable source on this) wrote/said/ that presumption was such a serious issue in the Anglican Church that  he wished  all infant baptism would cease for the sake of the purity of the church until this problem was solved.  Non-believing Church of England adults (all you have to be is a citizen of England) are  bringing their babies for “christening” and then disappearing, presumption fed by infant baptism regeneration.  Do Packer and Stott hold to baptismal regeneration?

The guitar priest is really annoying to read both content and style, mainly content though. When I was leading ALPHA and non-believers were coming up with whacky stuff, one way I steered them back was to say, “Wow, in all my readings and studies of creeds and church history NO ONE HAS EVER COME UP WITH THAT.”  Worked like a charm.  They immediately retreated and said, “Guess that can’t be right then…”  Wonder what his beef with experiencing the new birth now is? James 1:18, 1 Peter 1, speak of it as past tense for believers.  I’ve never seen “under-realized” eschatology as very appealing….
