Evangelical Christians agree that baptism is important. It is a prominent feature in the Great Commission that Jesus gave the Church. But there is some disagreement about who should be baptized, how baptism should happen, and what it signifies. The debate in this video focuses on one of the more prominent questions in this conversation: Should infants be baptized? On the Believer's Baptism side of the debate, baptism is reserved for those who are old enough to make a personal profession of faith. On the Infant Baptism side, baptism demonstrates that infants are included as participants in the covenant family of faith. This isn't just an academic debate. It's personal for many people, as the video explains.
