Matthew 19:13-15 “Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.”
Infants should not be baptized because none were baptized in the New Testament and because they can not believe upon Jesus as personal Savior. However, little children as young as 3 or 4 years of age can sometimes understand that they are sinners and that Jesus died for their sins, and they do sometimes trust in Jesus. These little children should be baptized as soon as they understand the meaning of baptism. In the above passage, Jesus says that His kingdom is made up mostly of little children. We should keep in mind that all of the little ones who die as infants, born or unborn, are saved by God’s grace.
