Bible Question: I have been unable to find any scripture referring the the baptism of children/babies. Is there anyone that can help me? |
Bible Answer: Some churches baptize children by sprinkeling them, as a way of what I would call a baby dedication. Some would say they are joined into the body of Christ. Some protestant more "higher" churches would be in this belief. Generally most Baptist would say baptism is for those who have come to know Christ as LORD and want to be obediant and be baptized. Now here again there are differences some sprinkel and others really put the person benieth the water. For me, I find no scripture that says we are to baptize anyone other than one that has come to a saving faith in Christ. I say again others would not agree, but That is my belief. |
