1 | Children/Baby baptism Scripture? | Mark 16:16 | Emmaus | 46483 | ||
Makarios, Of course we may disagree on this matter in charity. I have no intention of pursuing the subject further, having made the points I intended to make and thought needed to be made. I have no intent of making a personal attack on anyone. Certainly not an attack against you. I also believe in "believer's baptism," if one has not been baptized and raised in the faith. :-) I was baptised as an infant and raised in the faith. Every Easter Catholics renew their baptismal vows and are reminded of their baptism in a sprinkling rite. My daugther was baptized as an infant and raised in the faith and she continues in the Faith. My wife was born to an atheist Jewish father and a Presbyterian mother. My wife's mother, who died a few months after her husband died and a few months before I met my wife, believed in believer's baptism. She raised my wife in the Methodist Church without having her baptized. My wife, after we had been married 12 years, was baptized at the age of 38 at an Easter Vigil Mass. No one was more surprised than me when she announced that she intended to be baptised and enter the Church. So you see, in my household we cover both sides of the issue. Blessings to you also. Your brother in Christ, Emmaus |

2 | Children/Baby baptism Scripture? | Mark 16:16 | Makarios | 46573 | ||
Greetings Emmaus! Thank you for your response! Yes, we do not have to be in absolute complete agreement, since it is inevitable for disagreement to abound on a Forum such as this, as you and I already know so well! :-) We can and will be charitable with one another, speaking together as Brothers in Christ, if the opportunity sees us discussing this topic at any point in the future. As you have stated, you have somewhat of a unique perspective on baptism, and I appreciate the valuable input that you have shared so far. There will be no 'personal attacks' from me, I can assure you! :-) Blessings to you, Makarios |
