Infant Church Membership: Or The Relation Of Baptized Children To The Church (1844)

by William Augustus Stearns

Book Overview

Infant Church Membership: Or The Relation Of Baptized Children To The Church is a book written by William Augustus Stearns and published in 1844. The book discusses the concept of infant church membership, which is the idea that children who are baptized into the church are automatically members of the church. Stearns argues that this is a biblical concept, and he provides evidence from the Bible to support his argument. He also discusses the history of infant church membership and how it has been practiced in different Christian denominations. The book addresses some of the common objections to infant church membership, such as the idea that children cannot fully understand their faith and that baptism should be reserved for adults. Stearns argues that infant church membership is important because it helps to ensure that children are raised in a Christian environment and that they have a spiritual community to support them as they grow up. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the topic of infant church membership.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
