Baptism and Communion for the Church and Her Children

The pages of this book seek to do justice to a most important work of Christian parents, namely, the diligent use of baptism and Communion as gospel signs in the presentation of their children to Christ either for nurture or through nurture unto confession of faith in Him as risen Lord (Romans 10:9-10). An important matter that is treated here is the status of children growing up in the church from infancy. Are they little Christians? No. Are they little pagans? No. The answer to the status question proposed in these pages is that they are sinners set apart by God in a special way in Christian homes with the promise of forgiveness of their sins by repentance and faith.
