Teaching Faith Instead of Doubt

Sharing Options
“If we believe God when He says that He made us one with our wives so that He could have godly offspring, then we should act as though we believe it. This means that we should teach our children to believe it. And this means, in its turns, that they should never know a time when they did not love and honor Jesus Christ, love His gospel, and love His Church. If we do anything else with our children, we are teaching them to doubt, not to believe . . . We must return to the doctrine of covenantal succession. If we hold to infant baptism, we are saying by our participation in that wonderful rite that we believe God’s promises concerning future generations. What this debate has shown is that more than a few paedobaptists are saying, ‘Really? You believe the promises? Isn’t that works?’”
