Infant Baptism

 

While the Bible generally speaks of a Believers Baptism

The Bible does not spell out whether or not to Baptize the Children of Believers

Children are clearly able to believe and come to God

This raises some difficult questions

 

When are Children old enough to decide whether they want to be Baptized and follow Christ ?

AND

Should Baptism be left until they are old enough to decide ?

OR

Should Children of Believers be Baptized when their parents convert (as in Acts) ?

OR

Should Children of Believers be Baptized soon after birth in the same manner that Jews were Circumcised ?

FAITH LIKE LITTLE CHILDREN

Matthew 11:25 Matthew 18:3 Matthew 19:13 Matthew 19:14 Mark 9:37 Mark 10:13 Mark 10:14 Luke 10:21 Luke 18:16

 

 

POSSIBLE EXAMPLES OF CHILD OR INFANT BAPTISM IN THE NEW TESTAMENT

Acts 2:38-39 Acts 11:14 Acts 16:13-15 Acts 16:31-4 Titus 1:6

 

 WE ARE SAVED BY FAITH IN CHRIST - NOT BY BAPTISM ITSELF

Mark 16:16 John 1:12 John 3:15 John 3:16 John 3:36 John 5:24 John 6:40 John 6:47 1Corinthians 1:21

Children must continue in the faith as Adults or they will not be saved
