Is the practice of infant baptism foreign to the Bible? Is it based on superstition? Was it an invention of the Roman Catholic Church? The purpose of this book, written in the style of a conversation, is to give you a clear and concise guide to understanding the belief and practice of infant baptism. The aim is to demonstrate that infant baptism is a biblical practice that is not and should not be carried out "out of custom or superstition." As we consider this pressing issue, we will consult first and foremost the Scriptures, as they are our ultimate authority. We will also consider some basic biblical and theological principles, the testimony of church history, and finally, some practical matters with which we will answer why Reformed churches baptize the children of believers—the children Jesus loves.
