I suppose this thread is a subjective off-take of another current thread that concerns some of the practical implications of differing views on baptism.
However, my question concerns the spiritual or eternal consequences of how one sees and practices baptism.
So, again, what are the spiritual or eternal consequences of those believers deemed to be sinning in their practice of baptism?
I can't recall off-hand seeing any theologians deal directly with this specific aspect of the topic. If anyone can direct me to where this is addressed by reputable theologians I would appreciate it. I would also be interested in other PB members' (especially any pastors or scholars) thoughts on the matter.

- Confessional Reformed Paedobaptists believe that to neglect the baptism of infants is a great sin.
- Reformed Baptists don't typically use the same language, but those who reckon people only baptized as infants as not being truly baptized in essence have to believe infant baptism (or neglecting baptism upon profession) is a great sin.
