| At least 3 cited resources | For each resource, record what information or insight you gain and comment briefly on its relevance to your theme or question. |
| Example: Book – Reformation Questions, Reformation Answers: 95 Key Events, People, and Issues by Donald K. McKim | This helped me to understand where the teaching on baptism developed from as well as the teaching of Calvinism |
| Example: Article – A Brief Defense of Infant Baptism https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/kevin-deyoung/a-brief-defense-of-infant-baptism/ | This resource is relevant because I really respect and trust the Gospel Coalition and Kevin DeYoung and this article provides an excellent defense for infant baptism including the fact that the children of Christian are in a unique category because they are brought up as Christians. |
| Example: YouTube Clip – Is infant baptism Biblical? by Bryan Wolfmueller https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZurA93_jNdc | This resource is relevant because it gives a candid perspective on why infant baptism is different from believers’ baptism and should not be discounted because it doesn’t make sense. It is a gift for a unique category- the children of believers. It caused me to question why people have an issue with infant baptism because it doesn’t discount believers’ baptism? |

| At least three you spoke to and their position | 1. Summarise what their theological thoughts about you theme or question are. 2. Comment on the relevance of any insights that you gained from each conversation. |
| 1. Glenn Dillon (Youth and Maturity Pastor) | 1. Glenn and I spoke about the relevance of the Old Testament in giving insight to understanding baptism in the New Testament. He shared his view about how he grew up being infant baptised, but then decided that believers Baptism was the right way and so dedicated his children. However, since completing his theological studies, he now believes that infant baptism is more in line with the covenantal promises of God for His people. He provided me with the paper from EV Church that discusses this and helped him to understand this better. 2. This was relevant because he was not biased because at some point, he has believed both were correct so I felt like the insights that he gave me were well researched and reliable. |
