10 differences between Luther and Zwingli SERIES: 8
And they that understand among the people shall instruct many:
yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days.Daniel 11:33
8.- Baptism"Luther and Zwingli both defended infant baptism; but with different qualifications.
In Luther’s Small Catechism (1529) he writes that baptism, “works forgiveness of sins, delivers from death and the devil, and gives eternal salvation to all who believe this, as the words and promises of God declare”.
This definition explains why Luther shouted out, “Baptizatus sum” when under attack.
Zwingli’s doctrine of baptism was a lot less Roman. He saw the rite as an act by means of which the baptized child was received into the visible community of the faith.
By no means did he believe that baptism could forgive sins or grant eternal life."
