We don’t baptize infants but we do have parent-child dedication services and we think they are very, very important. However, we want people to be old enough to understand what they are doing and then be baptized.
Also people ask me if they can be a Christian without being baptized. Of course, they want me to say yes. I have to say yes, technically. We are saved by grace through faith, period. But I point out they tell me they trust Jesus Christ for their eternity, knowing that He died an excruciating death for their sins, yet that when He asks for obedience on an elementary level they say no. They are refusing to don a little polyester robe and let a pastor dunk them on the stage, yet they are trusting Christ for eternity. Quite frankly, I have got to wonder if that person is on the broad road or the narrow road. I challenge you lovingly and Biblically to be baptized. For many of you, this obedience test is keeping you from really going on with the Lord. Have you been baptized since you became a narrow gater?
