Pelagius Refutes Gavin Ortlund’s Claim About Augustine and Infant Baptism

In a recent video, Gavin Ortlund argues that the universal Church’s understanding of infant baptism is largely built on Augustine’s influence, suggesting that earlier views were inconsistent and unstable. In this episode, I challenge that claim head-on. By examining Pelagius’s letter to Pope Innocent I and the Council of Carthage’s response to the Donatists, we’ll see that the Church’s commitment to infant baptism was already clear and theologically grounded. Ironically, even Pelagius, Augustine’s theological opponent, affirms the necessity of infant baptism and that arrogant heretics wouldn't even deny the redemptive necessity of issuing baptism to children.
