译注：史蒂芬·劳森（Steve Lawson）在他的《神的属性》系列神学讲座，第5讲（Session 5），谈到婴儿洗礼的问题。此文是根据他的这部分讲道文字记录翻译的。

显然的，我不是他所希望的那种改革宗，就是认为加尔文在一切的问题上都是正确的，认为荷兰的改教家在一切的问题上都是正确的，也认为路德在一切问题上都是正确的。 我不相信他们在一切的问题上都是正确的。在盟约神学上，我可以在一定程度上与他们认同，但显然的，我不给婴儿施洗礼。

我想说，在现实中，那些持守信条的，比如威斯敏斯特信条（Westminster Confession），是不够改革宗。我认为我比他们更是改革宗。因此，我会把问题反过来，“为什么他们不是改革宗？” 我认为他们并没有完全脱离天主教。而且我认为他们仍然在一些天主教的迷惑之下，是与婴儿洗礼相关的。

我认为，根据圣经，作为浸信会人士，我们在改革中走得更远。有关信条，从某种意义上来说，唯独圣经，是我唯一的信条。在圣经里没有婴儿受洗。你无法在圣经里指出任何一节经文是婴儿受洗的。因此，在我的改革方面，我已经更远离天主教。

Transcript of 《The Attributes of God – Session 5》 Steve Lawson

obviously I’m not reformed to the extent he would like for me to be reformed that presupposes that Calvin was right on everything， it presupposes the Dutch reformers were right on everything， it presupposes that Luther was right on everything。 And I don’t believe that they were. To be as covenental as they are, I can go to a certain extent with them but obviously I’m not baptizing babies.

I would say in reality those that hold to those confessions ,for example the Westminster Confession，are not reformed enough. I think I am more reformed than they are. So, I would revers the question: “Why are they not Reformed?” I think they only took a partial step away from the Catholic Church. And I think they remained under some Catholic spell as it relates to infant baptism.

And I think, as one who is Baptist that we went further in the reform, according to scripture. And as it relates to the Confessions, in some sense, sola scriptura ，scripture alone，is the only confession that I have. There is no baby baptized in the Bible. You can’t point to any verse in the Bible where a bay is baptized. So, I have gone further in my reform away from the Catholic Church.
