John Barach writes concerning the prayer for infant baptism I posted earlier today: “that is the standard Reformed baptismal form which was probably written by Petrus Dathenus in the 16th century and adopted by the Synod of Dort. That’s also the same form that’s used for baptism in the Canadian Reformed Churches, the URCNA, the Protestant Reformed Churches, the Netherlands Reformed Churches, the Free Reformed Churches, the Heritage Netherlands Reformed Churches, etc. It isn’t just a CRC thing.”
