People tend to complicate issues that the All Authority of Scriptures simplifies: “And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.” (Acts 8:36-38, KJV) If after talking with a child one is convinced that they believe with all of their heart, it is well to water baptize. The proper mode of baptism is full immersion, and the proper time is after one has come to true saving belief and faith in Christ Jesus. Just as many parents these days (through their own pride), usually run a race to teach child to read earlier than other children, or to speak at an earlier age than other children; I think there’s also a rush to get their kid saved first, and baptized first. I think some of this is pushed by prideful parents. There are some churches where children are being manipulated by saying prayers that they don’t even understand, and without being taught anything about sin.
Both my sons got baptized in the name of Jesus Christ at age 7 and 8 and they understand what baptism meant and and repentance. Who is left is my daughter and she is 6..she has to first understand first.
If faith looks different before 12, maybe there is a simpler faith that exists before 9. One has to believe what the Bible says about families and offspring as well as what it says about mature conversion.
The Bible says that knowledge is evil and that churchgoers should be child like. So why not allow a child to get baptized? There’s not much difference in the understanding of a child and it’s Christian parents. Which is not just pathetic but extremely sad.
@@jcpg9592not sure if you’re for infant baptism or proving a point? We do know that in order to be baptized you must repent of your sins. A baby cannot do this. 2 Cor. 7:10 says “For Godly sorrow worker’s repentance to salvation…” kinda makes the point that you shouldn’t just baptize a kid cuz they feel like it. You should see some evidence of change
As a confessional Presbyterian (PCA), I will have my kids, if I have any, baptized within the first six months of their birth. However, I know this is an issue where Baptists and Presbyterians disagree.
Smoky Mountain Concealment they have a right to be part of the new covenant, they don’t have to earn baptism like the Baptist’s say. All they need grace, faith, and then being taught to be workers of Christ through love
The idea that this guy would have anything to do without someone's child is sick and wrong. Children and this shit about "sinners" is horrific. People open your fucking eyes.
I was born as a baby, Catholic, that funny original sin thing! Then, at 22 I was Baptized at the Olsteen church in Houston, I am now 65. The first baptism was unnecessary, no baby is born in sin! The second cost me thousands of dollars before I realized I was just a contributor to the riches of the Olsteen family. Poor Christ they have twisted him into some one else’s busllshit and profit
The Bible says that all have sinned and we are all born in sin. Baptism doesn't wash away your sin. Jesus's blood did that on the Cross. I'm not advocating for babies to be baptized though. You must believe then be baptized. 1 Peter 3:21 Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
@@aharrison3022 so tell me, an infant s born with sin, and why? How does the infant know he sinned? Plus. If God made fetuses sinners and babies then killed his son to save the baby….doesn’t that sound a bit strange to you? So, then why baptism, for symbolism? I literally can not remember the last time I sinned, decades now. Not hard to be LIKE JESUS and a good person. Ten simple commandments, 10! And, why Christians feel the need to judge others, and seek validation? Is that faithlessness? Why not just be like Jesus all inclusive, all love? Have a great Holiday Season, and just spread his love and joy, no need to see validation nor righteousness he DIED DIE FOR YOUR SINS TOO, have faith!
NO BABY IS BORN IN SIn? Tell me when the DNA changes after birth!! ONE TODDLER PROVES that we are born in sin !!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. It shores up the faith of the parents, and the congrtegation who TRUST GOD that he and his FAMILY are chosen by God. God loves RADICAL FAITH, not a "we will wait and see faith"! No God, I will NOT put the blood on the door to save my baby!
Baptized babies become children of FATHER GOD, join the CHRISTIAN FAMILY ON the baseses of the parents faith, just like when Jewish circumcision is done to a baby on the faith of parents It is also keeps baby safe from demons.. Protestant Baptize baby's too they call it CHRISTIANING
Water baptism happens because someone has been saved. Water baptism doesn't save. The recent coronation happened because Charles is now the King. The coronation didn't make Charles the King. Charles became the King when his mother - Queen Elizabeth the Second - died. A coronation for William or George would be nonsense as neither of them are King.
If they think they are ready, Baptize. No one says you can only be Baptized once. Rededicate as often as you wish. Baptism isn't a REQUIREMENT of Salvation, it is a declaration of dedication.
@@jeffneub3578 again nothing of what you say is based in scripture. “There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism…” Ephesians 4:5 I don’t read from a different Bible so you can knock that off, who am I? Really? What do you mean who am I? What you said was not based in scripture and o never said baptism saves you. Please don’t put words in my mouth. I am respectfully pointing out that what you argue for is not backed by a scripture.

How can I ask a question?

Biblical evidence for postponing baptism: 0
Which is exactly why infants should be baptized.

biblical evidence that baptism is an outward sign of an inner change and not salvific/efficacious/regenerative: 0
A baby can repent? Or hear, faith?

Joshua Neace hey I’m really starting to revisit infant baptism is it or is it not biblical. So why would you baptize your child at such an early age?
