Baptism Not for Babies

7/31/2011

 
Babies don’t need to be baptized because they have no sin and are heaven bound if they should die (Matthew 5:8; John 8:21). Sin is the breaking of the laws of God, and babies cannot do that or inherit the sins of their parents (1 John 3:4; Ezekiel 18:20). In order to be baptized one must have sins that need to be washed away (Acts 2:38, 22:16), and believe in and confess Christ (Mark 16:16; Romans 10:9-10). Babies cannot qualify to do any of the things mentioned, thus they are not candidates for baptism. The word of God teaches that baptism isn’t sprinkling or pouring water on a person, but is a complete burial in much water (John 3:23; Romans 6:3-6; Hebrews 10:22). In the Bible way of baptism one goes into the water, not have water brought to him in a container (Matt. 3:6,16; Acts 8:36,38).

Hope to hear from you or see you at the services.
