Synopsis

When infants of believing parents are baptized, they are formally welcomed into the family and covenant of the Christian faith. Yet, the author points out that infants are unable at this age to exercise personal faith in Christ. So the basis of their church membership must rest upon the faith of their parents until they come of age to make this profession themselves. To address this need, this book offers a solution for churches to balance the biblical practice of infant baptism with the necessity for personal faith by providing a form and order for receiving such members into full communion. Along with this main theme, the book includes forms for the baptism of adults, solemnization of marriage, and administration of the Lord’s Supper. The author, having drawn his material from various sources, presents a concise collection of resources for conducting these special services.
