Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1890 edition. Excerpt: ... PREFACE. IN presenting this little work to the public, it is earnestly hoped that a careful perusal of its contents will awaken a new interest in a subject that deserves careful and serious attention. My conclusions are reached after twenty-five years of membership in the Christian Church, all of which have been spent in official capacity, both in the Church proper and in the Sunday-school department of the Church. I have observed how the children of some families wander away from the Church as they reach manhood and womanhood, while those of others grow up in the Church and never leave it. I have also observed that when series of special meetings are held, and many adults are converted and brought into the Church, the prevailing opinion seems to be that if fifty per cent, remain the effort has been a success. Of course the other half drifts away with those who are called backsliders. The thought that has followed me through these years is this: Is such a condition of things absolutely necessary? if not, where lies the trouble? This led to a more careful reading of the Word of God and a study of the Discipline of my Church. I am satisfied that both the Bible and the Discipline warrant the position which I take in the following pages, and that the trouble is not in the plan of salvation, but in the neglect of Christian parents and Christian people generally to do their whole duty. This humble contribution upon the subject is given in good faith, and with no other desire than to do my share of the work of saving our children from sin and ruin. The Author. Relation of Baptized Children to the Church. CHAPTER I. JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY. GOD, whether in nature or revelation, is a God of system and order. It is this fact clearly seen that...

Book Description
The issue of baptism has troubled Protestants for centuries. Should infants be baptized before their faith is conscious, or does God command the baptism of babies whose parents have been baptized? Popular New Testament scholar Scot McKnight makes a biblical case for infant baptism, exploring its history, meaning, and practice and showing that infant baptism is the most historic Christian way of forming children into the faith. He explains that the church's practice of infant baptism developed straight from the Bible and argues that it must begin with the family and then extend to the church. Baptism is not just an individual profession of faith: it takes a family and a church community to nurture a child into faith over time. McKnight explains infant baptism for readers coming from a tradition that baptizes adults only, and he counters criticisms that fail to consider the role of families in the formation of faith. The book includes a foreword by Todd Hunter and an afterword by Gerald McDermott.
