The Baptism of John | Mark 1:4-8 | Pastor Daniel Batarseh (Gospel of Mark Series)

[@debbiemcdebbie12]

God's wisdom is evident throughout your teachings. I learn so much. I agree with the baptism of babies. I was baptized as a baby. And one day I felt the Lord say to me, I want you to be baptized. I said, Lord you know my church. You will have to make it happen. They only believed in infant baptism unless you were never baptized. One month later, the Lord had me at another church fully submerged in water, being baptized. Praise Glory to God.

For the promise is to you and to your CHILDREN and to all that are far off, every one whom the Lord our God calls to him”

So powerful and detailed word of God

Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven” (Matt. 19:14)

Sometimes we are accountable not just for ourselves, but for others as well. Parents are responsible for baptizing their babies. If they knowingly do not do so, they break God’s covenant in a serious matter. Like the paralytic in Matthew 9:2-6 who was completely dependent upon others to bring him to Christ in order for him to get his sins forgiven (and his physical healing), a baby is completely dependent upon his parents to bring him to Christ.

Paul notes that baptism has replaced circumcision (Col. 2:11-12). In that passage, he refers to baptism as “the circumcision of Christ” and “the circumcision made without hands.” Of course, usually only infants were circumcised under the Old Law; circumcision of adults was rare, since there were few converts to Judaism. If Paul meant to exclude infants, he would not have chosen circumcision as a parallel for baptism.

Sorry Pastor Daniel, I love you brother but I disagree with you when it comes to infant baptism.
