Proverbs 22:6 says “Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it” a sentiment echoed in Ephesians 6:4 “Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.” It’s clear that setting a godly direction for children adds something to their lives. Join us to hear what God’s word has to say.

WHY WE DON'T BAPTIZE BABIES
 
1.  Because they cannot believe.  Mark 16:16 
2.  Because they cannot repent.  Acts 2:38
3.  Because they cannot confess. Romans 10:9
4.  Because they don’t have a conscience. 1Peter 3:21
5.  Because they are safe.  2 Samuel 12:23
 
People were also bringing babies to Jesus to have him touch them.  When the disciples saw this, they rebuked them.   But Jesus called the children to him and said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.  I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it."  Luke 18:15 
 
The disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"  He called a little child and had him stand among them.   And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.  Matthew 18:1-3  

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up.  1Peter 5:6  
O my people, hear my teaching; listen to the words of my mouth.  What we have heard and known, what our fathers have told us.  We will not hide them from their children; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD, his power, and the wonders he has done.   He established the law in Israel, which he commanded our forefathers to teach their children,  so the next generation would know them, even the children yet to be born, and they in turn would tell their children.  Psalm 78:1-6
