Synopsis
Excerpt from The Scriptural Relation of Children to the Church of Christ
Thou art my God from before the birth. If by breach of law through the first Adam sin passed over on the children of our race, by so much more does grace pass over on them by the second Adam to sai vation and justification of life. And as sin passed over on our children unconditionally and without free choice on their part, so does the merit of the atone ment them unconditionally to salvation through the second Adam, the Lord Jesus Christ. The very existence of childhood, and, by consequence, of the race, is due to the atonement of Jesus Christ. It isonly necessary, without tracing the connection, to assert that, as the Apostle most distinctly amrms, sin became a curse to the whole of mankind by the transgression of the first man of our race. But Paul, also, asserts that the saving benefits of the atonement of Jesus Christ are as broad as the ruin wrought. If original sinfulness of nature affects the infants of our race, much more the saving benefits of salvation pass over to the infants of the race. See Romans 5: 12-21 for the argument of the Apostle on this question. Such also are the resurrection privi leges broadly stated by Paul to belong to humanity, and by consequence to the infants of our race who may have passed away out of this life in the early morning of their existence here. See 1 Cor. 15: 45. No other application of the Apostle 's argument seems to us at all admissible.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the complex topic of children's relationship to the church, drawing upon biblical teachings and historical practices. The author argues that infants are born with a form of salvation, and that they are members of the church by virtue of their baptism. The book explores the significance of this doctrine, examining the scriptural basis for infant salvation, and discussing the implications for church membership and practice. It also provides valuable insights into the historical development of this doctrine, tracing its roots in early Christian thought and practice. Ultimately, the book challenges readers to reconsider the traditional understanding of children's relationship to the church, and to embrace a more inclusive and compassionate approach that recognizes the spiritual needs of all members, regardless of their age.
