And that personal relationship starts with Baptism. And the sooner the better.
Wouldn’t you want your child to receive graces of the Holy Spirit early on in life?
They they can more easily form that prayerful life with the Lord.

The person of Christ has a physical body. On this earth He used physical signs to accompany His word. He says that Baptism saves and that the bread and wine of the Eucharist are His very Body and Blood.
I do not worship a disincarnate voice but the Word made flesh.

Lutheran Ping!
Alleluia! Christ is Risen!
Schamerei are on the attack on this thread just like in the 16th Century. Could use a little back-up!
Old heresies never die, they just form "new" denominations.

I said “there is no problem if you have water.”
Maybe you read it over too fast.

As a former Lutheran I can attest to the fact that infants are baptized shortly after birth;I was back in ‘76 and my sister was in ‘94.

Baptism is a voluntary offering to God indicating that you publicly acknowledge that Jesus is your savior and infants cant voluntarily do anything except eat, sleep and poop. Oh good, you, like other protestants , are establishing your own rules. Now you see how much easier life can be if YOU make the rules.....PATHETIC

Bull, nothing in the bible requires baptism for entrance into heaven. The only requirement is acceptance that Jesus is our Lord and savior.

I remember my parents most fondly for the fact that they baptized me as a baby. While I understand that had I chosen to be baptize as an adult, that, too would have been a valid baptism, it is the greatest gift to be baptized BEFORE it is a decision of an adult mind.
Thank you, mom and dad. You were not perfect, but this is something you did just right.

Whenever I see a baby walking down the street, I surreptitiously baptize him just to be safe.

Was the thief on the cross baptised? NO
Did he go to heaven? YES
To: Craftmore
Was the thief on the cross baptised? NO Did he go to heaven? YES the new covenant did not begin until the death of Christ.That having been said, Christ (God) can do anything and to attribute one persons salvation to your opinion is a little questionable..

But,but but,,Christ died before the thief,therefore according to you,the new covenant should have applied.

And I trust for all the rest of us as well, else we all are lost.

Christ forgave the man under the Old Covenant. Remember Christ went to Gehenna to release the righteous and to end Gehenna

The only requirement is acceptance that Jesus is our Lord and savior.Not correct, this is what Jesus said
- He who believes and is baptized will be saved. (Mk 16:16)
- [U]nless you repent you will all likewise perish. (Lk 13:3
- [H]e who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. (Jn 6:54)
- 13But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. (Matt. 24:13 )
- Matt 25:31-46 34Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me
Do note that
- He who believes and is baptized will be saved. (Mk 16:16)
- [U]nless you repent you will all likewise perish. (Lk 13:3)
- [H]e who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. (Jn 6:54)
Salvation comes FROM Christ ie through GRACE alone Christ has mandated baptism, repentance, the Eucharist as WELL as faith.
