Quote from: RecycledBenedict;189814
I suppose the views of Baptists are informed by Origen, without the Baptists knowing it. Perhaps the same is (selectively) true about their relation to Augustine of Hippo. Please correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't Baptists believe in the total depravity of humankind (following Augustine that far), but believe that departed infants go to heaven (not following Augustine in that regard)?

 
In my Baptist upbringing, ehhhhhh. Kind of. They believe that good works don't exactly matter for much eternally, but total depravity is more the realm of the Calvinists/Reformed. Baptists will agree more often with Calvinists than not, but they don't, for instance go so far with total depravity as to believe that humans CANT choose God unless God literally injects them with belief. They tend to believe humans are more involved in the whole salvation thing because we have free will. Calvinists would argue that man is so depraved that he won't ever choose God unless God chooses man first.
