We baptize our children because God promises to be ir God throughout Scriptures. The Apostle Peter says at Pentecost that forgiveness ss gift Holy Spir is for you your children (Acts 2:39). God s prescribed pattern. God established a pattern givg sign entrance to covenant to children believers ld Testament t pattern is not set aside New Testament (Gen. 17:7). Thus, silence New Testament is more an argument for practice than agast. God s new sign. In New Testament, baptism replaces circumcision as sign covenant (Col. 2:11). Both signs remd us that God s promise contues to future generations necessates sheddg blood for salvation. Historical precedence. In early church, entire families were baptized when an adult member pressed fah Jesus (Acts 16:15, 33). A vivid picture. Baptism pots to what Christ s shed blood accomplishes: washg away s s guilt Spir beg poured out upon us. We celebrate t realy when we baptize an adult who presses fah.
