What religious view is central to Edwards' theology?

  • Baptism of infants

  • Baptism of adults

  • Confession on deathbed

  • Purification by fire

Answer

Infant baptism is central to Jonathan Edwards' theology.

He also believed that baptism was a public declaration of faith and a way for believers to identify themselves with the Christian community.
