This is not a debate about the biblicalness of baptizing babies.
I'll say it again..
This is not a debate about the biblicalness of baptizing babies....
Let me say it one more time...
THIS IS NOT A DEBATE ABOUT THE BIBLICALNESS OF BAPTIZING BABIES!
Here's the topic. Why do parents who have no history of attending church (Not gathering regularly in person with fellow believers. For those who want to do the church isn't a building speech.), why do they baptize their baby or dedicate their baby to the God in a ceremony at church?
Why do they do this if they honestly have no intent of going to church/gathering with believers, or raising their kid with the teachings of Christ?
If the parents fit the parameters of the above, are you obligated to attend considering the parents have no intent of actually raising the kid in the teachings of Jesus?
Also please fill me in on the motives of said parents. Is it just so they can have the pretty ceremony and pretty pictures?
