BAPTISM – Part 2 ( The truth About Infant Baptism)

Most Christian churches today baptize babies by sprinkling water on them and calling it “infant baptism”. But nowhere in the Bible can we find where the Apostles of Jesus ever baptized babies. Infant Baptism is not a Biblical teaching; it is a dogma of the Roman Catholic Church. There’s nobody ever sprinkled in the Bible.

In the Old Testament, we will find that the the high priest circumcised the babies on the 8th day. Leviticus 12:2-3, “Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean. And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.”

But in the New Testament, the only way the apostles dedicated the babies unto God is by bringing the little ones to the Lord Jesus. Jesus lifted them up in His hands, and blessed them, saying, “Suffer little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not: for of such is the Kingdom.” (Matt. 19:13-15; Luke 18: 15-17) . Thus, this is the correct Biblical formula for dedicating babies unto the Lord.

Water Baptism is a confession that an inward work of grace has been done. Yet little infants has no knowledge of sin. Of course, the baby is borned in sin, shaped in iniquity, comes to the world speaking lies, and they’re sinners by nature. But when Jesus died at the cross, He died to take away the sins of the world. And when a baby becomes a human being and is born into this world, they have no sin of their own. The Blood of Jesus Christ already atones for the baby’s sin. And therefore they have no repentance to be done and no water baptism is required of them, not until they reach the age of accountability. The baby comes to the age of accountability between the age of 12 to 13 years old. During such age, the child knows already what’s right and wrong. Therefore, it’s the proper time for him or her to repent for what he/she has done. And when he/she repents, then’s that’s the time to undergo water baptism (Acts 2:38 – “Repent and be baptized..”) by immersion.

Brother Branham explains it to us this way: “A little child, no matter what kind of a parent it’s got, how sinful they are, that wouldn’t make any difference, for the Blood of Jesus Christ cleanses its sin. That baby cannot repent. It doesn’t know how to repent. It has no reasons of being here of its own. It can’t tell you why it’s here. But God sent it here. And the Blood of Jesus Christ cleanses it the very moment that it comes into the world, and it’s until it’s the age of accountability, and then it knows right and wrong. And then what it does, it’s got to repent for what it knows that it’s done wrong. And then the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses and makes an atonement for that child. If it dies, he perfectly goes right into the Presence of God. And if it was born from the most sinful parents in the world, until it’s the age of accountability where it knows right and wrong, and then what it does from then on, it’s got to be forgiven for that. It’s got to ask its own repentance from then on.” (WMB, ENTICING.SPIRITS, 55-0724)

“And now, because a baby is, ‘far as sin, it has none. Jesus died to take the away the sins of world, and the baby has done no sin. Only it was–it’s a sinner. It’s borned in sin. But, when Christ died at Calvary, He took away the sins of the world, and the baby is not responsible until it becomes the age of accountability. And any little baby, no matter how sinful the parents are, as soon as it dies, it goes straight to the arms of Christ. See? Because He paid the price. No matter if it was a baby borned in sin, and by adultery, or whatever it is. Makes no difference at all. That baby is safe with Christ, because He died to take away the sins of the world. And, when it gets old enough now that it’s done personal sin, then it has to repent for what it has done. But it has no personal sin until it’s old enough to commit sin, to know which is right and wrong.” (JOSEPH MEETING HIS BRETHREN JEFF.IN 56-1230)

From Mrs Joyce Meyer USA TV Evangelist A GOOD WOMAN, MAKES A GOOD WIFE AND A GOOD WIFE BECOMES A GOOD MOTHER; A GOOD MOTHER GIVES BIRTH TO A GOOD CHILD. IF YOU WANT TO BE ONE EMULATE THESE STEPS BELLOW: 1). Never raise your voice for any reason to your husband. Its a sign of disrespect. 2).

JESUS WAS NOT BORN ON DEC 25TH

JESUS WAS NOT BORN ON DEC 25TH Was Jesus born on December 25 – Christmas Day? History shows that December 25 was popularized as the date for Christmas, not because Christ was born on that day, but because it was already popular in pagan religious celebrations as the birthday of the sun. But could December 25 be the date of Christ’s birth? When was Jesus Christ born? Was Jesus born on December 25 – Christmas Day? A careful analysis of Scripture, however, clearly indicates that December 25 couldn’t be the date for Christ’s birth. Here are two primaryreasons: First, we know that shepherds were in the fields watching their flocks at the time of Jesus’ birth (Luke 2:7-8). Shepherds were not in the fields during December. According toCelebrations: The Complete Book of American Holidays, Luke’s account “suggests that Jesus may have been born in summer or early fall. Since December is cold and rainy in Judea, it is likely the shepherds would have sought shelter for their flocks ...
