What About Baptism for Children?

March 09, 2021

When should children be baptized? There are basically two views of baptism. One view is paedobaptism, or more commonly known as infant baptism. The other view, which I hold is credobaptism, or more commonly known as believers’ baptism. Because I believe children must be saved before being baptized I would like to give some evidences of salvation to look for in your children’s lives.
