    Why Baptize Babies? | Evening Series - The Foundations of Our Faith, March 8, 2026

    “WHY BAPTIZE BABIES?” The Foundations of Our Faith, part 21 A sermon outline based on Genesis 17:1-14 &  Belgic Confession Article 34 Hillcrest CRC, March 8, 2026, 5pm Rev. Curt Walters   1. Arguing from the silence of Scripture is unwise. (Mark 16:16 2. Only those capable of believing are required to in order to be baptized and saved. (Mark 16:16)   3. Baptism is for parents and their children. (Acts 2:38-39) 4. Entire households were baptized. (1 Corinthians 1:16, Acts 16:14-25, 31-33) 5. Believer-only baptism is very individualistic. 6. Baptism is a mark of the covenant. (Genesis 17:7,11, Matthew 28:18-19, Colossians 2:11-12)  7. Questions for those who DON’T believe in infant baptism: When did God stop including children in his covenant?If infant baptism didn’t originate in Scripture – when did it start?  Where is the verse in Scripture that says infants and children shouldn’t be baptized? Where are the biblical examples of children who grow up to be baptized at a later age?  And how is Scripture violated if a child is baptized first, and then grows and matures in their faith?  Next steps... Keep this outline so that you can use it to remind yourself about why baptizing babies is biblical and use it when the topic comes up in conversation with those who might disagree. Thank the Lord that He is a covenant-making and covenant-keeping God, and graciously promises to be a God to our children and grandchildren, and not just adult believers.
