Is infant baptism biblical? Why do Lutherans baptize babies? Is baptism God’s work or our work?

In this episode of Ask the Pastor, Pastor Huenink of First Lutheran Church dives deep into one of the most debated topics in Christian theology—infant baptism (paedobaptism). While many Christians argue over baptism based on tradition or symbolic meaning, this video takes a different approach by asking the real question:

👉 Is baptism something God does to us—or something we do for God?

Join us as we explore what Scripture teaches about baptism with key Bible passages:

1 Corinthians 12 – Baptized into one body
John 3 – Born of water and the Spirit
1 Peter 3 – Baptism now saves you
Galatians 3 – Baptized into Christ, clothed in Him
Romans 6 – United with Christ in His death and resurrection
Titus 3 – Washing of regeneration
Ephesians 5 – Cleansed by water and the Word
You'll hear insights from Luther's Large Catechism, unpack the Lutheran view of sacramental theology, and understand why infant baptism isn’t about the infant’s faith—but about God’s promise.
