ANTIPÆDOBAPTISTS, (derived from ἀπό, against, ἐκ, out of, ἀπολαβεῖν, child, and βάπτισμα, baptism, whence βαπτίζω), is a distinguished denomination given to those who object to the baptism of infants; because they say infants are incapable of being instructed, and of making that profession of faith which intitles them to this ordinance and an admission into church communion. See Anabaptists and Baptists.
