Lesson Detail


Why Do We Baptize Our Children?

Why Do We Baptize Our Children? cover art

Throughout the history of Christianity, faithful and sincere Christians have disagreed over who should be baptized. Should it be believers only? Or should we baptize the children of believers as well? Most Christian denominations baptize believers as well as children, but this practice can be confusing to those who do not understand it.

This lesson promotes mutual understanding and respect among believers, even as they come to different conclusions on the baptism of children.

Why Do We Baptize Our Children? is part of the series The Means of Grace (currently in production).
