The Baptism of Disciples Alone
A Covenantal Argument for Credobaptism Versus Paedobaptism
Book • 2024
Fred Malone's work defends credobaptism by tracing the development of covenant theology and baptismal practice through church history.
He argues that baptism in the New Testament functions as the sign of the new covenant applied to converts, not infants, and critiques paedobaptist readings of covenant continuity.
Malone combines historical evidence with theological exegesis to challenge assumptions about household baptism and circumcision-baptism parallels.
The book is aimed at scholars and pastors interested in the covenantal case for believer's baptism and its implications for church polity.
It is often cited in contemporary debates within Reformed and Baptist circles.
