Within the Protestant church there are many misunderstandings and disagreement over the mode & meaning baptism. Sometimes it is important to focus on the things we can agree upon. I can remember one of the best examples of this is when my husband and a fellow minister jointly preached a sermon on baptism. The commonalities between Credobaptism and Paedobaptism and the promise of God's grace as expressed and experienced through them were explained without tearing each other down. Many people were encouraged and educated. I found this page to be a great example of unity between the Credobaptist and Paedobaptist. On the Reformation 21 blog there is a list of 17 statements that can be agreed on by both. This list is compiled by a Mark Dever(SBC) and a David Coffin(PCA).
