The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum where's the command?

Amen Brother! The bit in the middle is most important, but it wasn't the question you asked. You asked for a command to baptize believers, I gave it to you and also gave the result of it.

But let's look at the middle: 'For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off.'

As I say, Amen! What is the promise? That if these Jews repent and are bapptized, their sins will be forgiven and they will receive the Holy Spirit.

Of course that promise applies to their children. Why wouldn't it? But infant children cannot repent or trust in Christ. When they are old enough, they can do these things for themselves.

However, if you take a different view, may I ask you, Is Peter's promise true for infants? Do baptized infants receive forgiveness of sins and the Holy Spirit?

Every blessing,
Steve
