Infants
433. Some say that according to Ezekiel 18:20, “babies are born sinless.” Can you look at Job 15:14, 25 & Psalms 51:5 and tell me how these are to be comprehended? Other scriptures for consideration are: Job 14:4; Psalms 58:3; John 3:6.
434. Would you please explain Luke 18:15-16 in relation to infant baptism?
435. Does the phrase “all have sinned” in Romans 3:23 include children who have not yet come to the age of accountability?
436. Does not the Bible teach that children can also be received into the covenant of God’s grace since they can believe (Matthew 18:1-6)?
437. Should we not baptize infants against their will, since Ephesians 6:4 teaches that adults are baptized against their will?
438. Isn’t it true that even after adults are baptized they still are not free from sin; that they are unaware of their sins, just like infants?
439. When an infant dies, doesn’t God decide where the child will go?
440. What is a good age to baptize a child?
441. Did the infants of Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19:24-25), and those who perished in the flood (Genesis 7:21-23), die because of inherited sin? Did God not kill these infants in anger because of their “wrongful deeds?” Doesn’t Exodus 20:5 teach that God punishes children for the sin inherited from their fathers?
