The Hope of Covenant Generations
In every society Children are the hope of the future. Whoever controls the children controls the future. Since the Lord claims absolute and legitimate Sovereignty and ownership over every human being, our children naturally belong to Him. In fact, as a result of the children being a part of His covenant, they especially belong to Him.
Parents, however, are the lawful stewards of their children, fully accountable to Him for their proper education and upbringing.
Accordingly, the Lord directs all His people to train their children in the principles of Christina Truth. To rebel, ignore or deny this Divine commission, is to rebel, ignore and deny the Creator, Lawgiver, Judge and King.
The Sacrament of water Baptism is a token of this Covenant obligation. It is what sets apart the Christian community from every other culture and religion. Baptism is a declaration of God's claim upon us and our posterity. It is a blessing and a privilege to be part of such a Godly heritage.
