This booklet is not only an argument for credobaptism over and against paedobaptism, it also has blood and tears mixed with it. Malone was trained at a Presbyterian seminary and he served as a Presbyterian pastor for years before he came to Baptist convictions. He states the views of Reformed paedobaptist theology ever so carefully, but he also carefully and sincerely disassembles that position with the Word of God. Malone’s change to Baptist ecclesiology cost him greatly. I observed too many Baptists becoming Presbyterians from what appeared to be convenience, but the depth of Malone’s conviction earned my respect and made me take his arguments that much more seriously.

Originally written as a personal journal in 1977 and later expanded in The Baptism of Disciples alone, this work is not presented as a final academic statement but as a transparent account of Fred Malone’s theological shift from paedobaptism to credobaptism. Malone illustrates a “string of pearls” that his paedobaptist brothers hold, and how examining those pearls lead to him to adopt an understanding of baptism that is for professing believers’ only.
The pearls that he examines are:
Honest, reflective, and grounded in Scripture, this booklet is especially helpful for pastors, students, and church members working through the doctrine of baptism and its implications.
