The following is part of a letter by Clement, probably that Clement mentioned by Paul in Philippians 4:3. He probably lived from about 30AD to as far as the end of that 1st century.

He writes:

“Let your children be partakers of true Christian training; let them learn of how great avail humility is with God-how much the spirit of pure affection can prevail with Him-how excellent and great His fear is, and how it saves all those who walk in(94) it with a pure mind. For He is a Searcher of the thoughts and desires [of the heart]: His breath is in us; and when He pleases, He will take it away. “

How does that strike you?

Fantastic! It’s good advice concerning what every Christian parent should do to raise godly kids.

It’s good, godly advice - his opinion as a believer. It certainly isn’t equal to Holy Scripture. It also doesn’t show any infants being baptized.

I have no idea why you posted it?
