Bible Question:
Why should my wife and I dedicate our baby? Background: We both grew up as children of "Church of God" (based in Cleveland, TN) ministers. We both have witnessed hundreds of baby dedications. This if the first time I have used a forum like this, so I am not sure if more background information is required or not. I am not looking for "we've always done it" type of answers. The only passage in the Bible that I am aware of that even closely relates to this is I Samuel 1-2. |
Bible Answer: I agree with the scripture and of course the reasons Hannah did what she did. The significance is rich behind her motives. It's a shame the Roman church messed all that up with the unnecessary so-called infant baptism thing. Hannah's deed is much more from love and less a deed from fear. If I loved the Lord dedication of my children would [was] definitely be in the mix of my life and love to God. |
