Question

The two children, aged six to eight years, were here at the altar this morning. How soon is it advisable to have them baptized?

Answer

Just as soon as you can. “Repent immediately and be baptized,” that’s, in the Name of Jesus Christ. Now, that’s question number one. I would advise that. But we find out in the Scriptures…

You say, “Is that Scriptural?”

When Peter preached on the Day of Pentecost, three thousand souls were saved and baptized the very same time. “As many as believed on the Lord were baptized.” So as soon as you believe on the Lord and accept Him as your Saviour, go right straight to the water and make your confession start right there; young or old, no matter who it is.

You say, “Well, these children might be very young.”

Jesus said, “Suffer little children to come unto Me, forbid them not, for such is the Kingdom of God.” I would daresn’t put my hand upon a child that wants to come to the altar or be baptized, at any age, I don’t care what age they are. Now question number two.
