“Wo Be Unto Them That Shall Pervert the Ways of the Lord”

Brant Gardner

It must be remembered that those who were proposing the baptism of infants were inside the church. This was not an interdenominational conflict, but rather one within the church. Therefore, those who were proposing infant baptisms were also contrary to the order of the church. If the only two of the twelve of whom we have any specific knowledge opposed the practice, it would certainly seem that it was being done without the acceptance by the officials of the church. It is in that context that we should see Mormon’s vehemence against those who were preaching it.
