Seth and I both grew up in the Baptist church and have always believed in baptism after you have received and accepted salvation from Jesus Christ. Therefore when we started attending and later joined the PCA denomination (Presbyterian Church of America) we were a little hesitant about infant baptism. It is not a requirement that you have your children baptized to join a PCA church, because we believe that water baptism is not a stipulation to salvation. So we have studied God's word, sought Godly counsel (both within the PCA denomination and trusted elders of other denominations), and read books on the subject. Our final conclusion....infant baptism is a sign of God's covenant to his people, but it does not automatically grant Ella Katherine salvation. This was a long way to explain...Ella Katherine got baptized this past weekend. She was kind of fussing a little when we got up front and Seth whispered she could have cake after the service if she was good and she got real excited and kept saying cake and cookies. The baptism went well. EK didn't like the water being poured over her head but she was fine when we got back to our seat.
