Featured child baptism right or wrong ?

I had 3 women who influenced our decision.... wife, my mom and my Mother in law. All 3 were adamant that my son should be infant baptized. I always felt that if the Holy Spirit wanted my son, at any age, that he could go for the dunking immersion method, so keep the peace and you become your child’s mentor. If the HS taps him for dunking, let him do it again

 

Immersion is the believers burial for Christ's death meaning the believer is going to live his new life in Christ (Romans 6:3-4).

 

I don't think Calvin was an outstanding Christian. I doubt he was a Christian at all.

 

It will not be Biblical believers immersion. It is not a requirement in order for one to be saved.

 

I personally do not believe God will punish you for doing something with pure intentions. But I also could not apply water to a baby and call it baptism. I struggled with this issue for a long time, when I was trying to fit into various paedobaptist churches.

 

My brothers and I were all sprinkled as infants (in a Methodist church) and it was labeled as baptism. Christ saved me at age 24 but for 10 years we went to mainline protestant churches and believer's baptism was never taught, At age 34 we began attending an IFB church (B for Bible but it was thoroughly baptistic in doctrine/practice) and when they had a baptism the following summer my wife and I obeyed, and were baptized in the St. John River where it's the border between the US and Canada. (Small church had no baptistery and outdoor baptisms would be a challenge there.)

 

Brother, Like i said earlier, you have many things to address other than infant baptism.

 

The saved person has indentified themselves as being dead in Christ, and now alive in christ...

 

No body appreciates being told they are wrong about something.
The truth of the matter is your wife does need to be biblically baptized. Her infant baptism didn’t count.

If I could just be frank, the Bible says “quit ye like men”, stand up for the truth and follow God, not your wife’s possible emotional responses. I’m not saying to be a jerk to your wife, but I am saying you have to stand for what’s right. Infant baptism is not right, and by allowing your son to be baptized you are giving approval to a unbiblical and honestly a heretical practice.

Who is in charge of your life God and his word, or your wife and her emotions?

There is a reason why our Baptist forefathers were martyred, and tortured over believers baptism, there were many Baptists who were persecuted for refusing to have their children baptized. You would do well to consider their example.

 

I apologize if i do not come across as gentle or helpful (i'm still working on my communication skills through typing). And i do commend you for wanting to do the right thing. I do implore you to seek the Lord together with your wife. It's imperative that you lead your family according to the Will of God in Christ.

 

You would be wrong!

 

probably regret asking this, but why do you believe this?

 

The episode with Michael Servetus is enough to convince me.
