You add, It is an excellent means for this end, making Children to be Disciples of Christ; let none marvel at this, because Infants are of the number of Disciples: Acts 15. 11. Why tempt ye God, to put a yoke on the necks of the Disciples? Those Disciples were, say you, the Faithful and their Seed.
Answ. This is not true: The Disciples, in the Text you cite, refer only to Believers among the Gentiles; those false Teachers would have the Brethren be circumcised, and they were they only that are called Disciples.
These Brethren being Gentiles, were never circumcised; and therefore these false Teachers taught them so to be, see Acts 15. 1.
2. Sir, I will appeal to your Conscience in this matter, Is not a Disciple one that is taught or instructed, and can Infants be called Disciples, who are not capable of being taught?
