Paedobaptism
It is impossible to measure the harm done to the Protestant cause through the retention of paedobaptism. The Reformed churches profess to be governed solely by Scripture, but so long as they continue baptizing babies, so long will they be taunted by Roman Catholics (and others) for their manifest inconsistency. . . . . Baby baptism is ruinous to the souls of thousands. Strictly speaking, it is not baby baptism but mistaken views regarding its efficacy and significance which leads multitudes down the broad way to destruction.

I recall hearing one paedobaptist preacher say almost the same thing about credobaptists. He used Luke 18:16 as a proof-text for infant baptism. Honestly, it was one of the most bizarre things I had ever heard regarding that particular sacrament.
