Baptism is the visible sign of the invisible reality that we belong to God. Therefore it is the sign and seal of the Holy Spirit that each person must die to what separates them from God and be raised to a newness of life in Christ. No matter at what age we recognize our need for God and the importance to proclaim Jesus as Lord, baptism powerfully proclaims that it is God who invites and God who enables us to live as children of His Kingdom.

God's faithfulness signified in Baptism is constant and sure, even when human faithfulness to God is not. The efficacy of Baptism is not tied to the moment when it is administered, for baptism signifies the beginning of life in Christ, not completion. God's faithfulness needs no renewal. Human faithfulness to God needs repeated renewal. Baptism calls for decision at every subsequent stage of life's way, both for those whose Baptism follows a profession of faith and for those who are nurtured from childhood within the family of faith. Whether baptized as a child or an adult, we are all invited to live in response to the love of God that is offered freely to us.

Infant/child baptism claims that the work of baptism belongs to God and not us. It is a powerful proclamation that God’s covenant promise belongs to us not because we earn it, but because God declares it. It also signifies the importance of the community of faith committing to teaching and encouraging children as they grow in knowledge and wisdom.
