What Should Ministers Do For Your Infants?
SATURDAY, MAY 16, 2009

Our Caribbean culture has many religious sacraments and rituals speciously purported to “Christianize” infants. Consequently, I have been asked many times to perform them during my years of ministry in the Caribbean. (I have also been asked to perform similar ceremonies for other people’s automobiles and other newly acquired possessions.) Almost all these requests have come from persons outside the churches I pastored, and who were not knowledgeable of the way of Christ. To them we respond:

1. We must not baptize your infants. To do so would be contrary to the Biblical doctrine of Christian baptism. It teaches that this ordinance is for believing disciples of Christ only (Matthew 28:19; Acts 8:12, 36-38).

2. We can not christen your infants. To christen is to “make Christian”, as when an infant is said to be made a member of a “church” in a religious ceremony. We would lie to you if we claimed this power. None but God can make a Christian (Jonah 2:9).

3. We may not dedicate your infants. That blessed right belongs to the parents of the infants. We would not deprive you of it. We commend to you the example of Hannah in dedicating to the Lord her son Samuel (1 Samuel 1:11, 27f).

4. But here is what we will gladly do for your infants: 1) We will pray for them. 2) If you will faithfully bring them to the worship services of Christ’s church, we will teach and preach to them the Word of God and the gospel of Christ in the hope that He will save them and use them for His glory. What better thing could we do for them?
