Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book argues that infant baptism is a significant sacrament, rooted in the biblical tradition. The author traces the history of baptism, particularly infant baptism, and explains how it demonstrates God's intention to extend the covenant he made with Abraham and his descendants to children as well. The book articulates how, in the act of baptism, infants are welcomed into the covenant of grace and are sealed with the Holy Spirit. The author explains that the washing with water signifies the Holy Spirit's cleansing of our souls from the pollution of sin, while the baptismal action represents the instantaneous and decisive effect of the Spirit's first coming into contact with the soul--our regeneration. Ultimately, this book illustrates how baptism is a sign and seal of God's saving grace for both infants and adults.
