[George W. Bush]

So we bring them to be baptized, chrismated, churched, blessed, and especially, communed with His Body and Blood...

This is is where Baptists would not agree. Jesus said to suffer the children to come to Him. He did not say "You must bring them to Me". So a Baptist will stay with the plain teachings of scripture. And others will have to find other ways to explain to themselves their practice upon unknowing children.

I can recognize the appeal of the practices. But they are not found in scripture. And we Baptists are pretty firm on the idea that all vital teachings are found in scripture and that any vital salvific doctrine will be found in scripture in multiple testimonies. Baptists practice a very simple faith, perhaps seeming to live in something of a spiritual poverty to those who have built up elaborate worship practices over the centuries.

"Jesus said to suffer the children to come to Him. He did not say "You must bring them to Me". So a Baptist will stay with the plain teachings of scripture."

I'd say that this is a pretty plain teaching of Scripture. Parents were bringing their children to Christ for a blessing, and he ordered his disciples not to forbid it, and he laid his hands on them and blessed them.

If you had been there, would you have brought your infant or child to Christ for Him to touch him and bless him? Or would you believe that no blessing would result because your child was not of the age of reason, and thus have kept your child away until he could decide for himself?
