Um, no. The Catholic Church doesn't believe that the innocent child should be denied baptism because of the circumstances of his or her birth.
Well, thats what it sounds like to me...
Of course I am not Catholic, but the act of baptism, to me, is the cognative acceptance of Jesus Christ as your savior, and by baptism you are symbolically cleansed (dead) to your previous sins, and reborn into life with him...
If an innocent child is unaware, not understanding of that relationaship and acceptance of that blessing, why does it seem more of a feel-good ceremony for the adults in that childs life, rather than a true acceptance aforementioned???
God knows a persons heart, and if that person has not fully understood (age of reason) this concept, I haqve a pretty good feeling the God does not deny them an eternity with him due to the innocence (age) of a child, in this case...
That is my opinion, I do not deny anyone their opinion on the matter...
My feeling is God wants our relationship (with him) to be simple, personal, to continue to learn and apply the lessons of his word, and have duplication thru telling others about him and his love for everyone...
See y’all later...
