http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=26295021564&v=photos&ref=ts#!/group.php?gid=26295021564Children were included in the covenant of grace in the Old Testament, through the Sacrament of Circumcision (Gen. 17), and in the New Covenant (called the "better covenant"), God has not changed in his good intentions toward our children (Acts 2:35, 38,39). Circumcision has been replaced with Baptism (Col. 2:11). Therefore, our children must be brought into the covenant of grace through Baptism as the people of God in former times were brought into the covenant through Circumcision.
" One can find no repeal in the New Testament of the Old Testament command to place the sign of the covenant of grace upon covenant children." - Dr. Robert L. Reymond
If credo-baptists numbering hundreds of millions reject God’s Word about baptism, we are bound to obey God rather than to smoke with them a peace pipe.
