Sacraments 101: Baptism (why we baptize)

BustedHalo.com's fantastic introduction to the Sacraments series:

Why, exactly, do Catholics have the practice of baptizing infants? What is the purpose of baptism and who can celebrate the sacrament of Baptism? Do the godparents of our child need to be married to each other? These are questions and more are answered in this edition of "Sacraments 101," a web video series geared for those who'd like an introduction or refresher course on these important, tangible Catholic experiences of God. Baptism is the beginning of the sacramental life of the Church. So, let's begin...

Join Fr. Dave Dwyer, CSP, as he explains why the Catholic Church practices infant baptism, as well as who can be baptized, what is needed, and what is involved in this humorous and informative short video.

Yes the promise was to children and everyone, thats why parents should raise there kids into the word of God so when their kids have the knowledge and are mature they know to repent and to be baptize

[ikaylimbo]

@YourWrong951 Jesus Himself stated that "unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God" (Jn 3:5.) This promise does not exclude children, and we know that Jesus said "Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them" (Mt 19:14.)

@YourWrong951 38 'You must repent,' Peter answered, 'and every one of you must be baptised in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

It is true, repentance would be necessary for an adult, but in the next verse he says this promise extends to children as well.

39 The promise that was made is for you and your children, and for all those who are far away, for all those whom the Lord our God is calling to himself.'

What about the thief on the cross... Was he baptised???? What happened to his sin? Christ didn't seem to worry. Loved your answers from the scriptures...not! What do you make of the verse in the new testament instructing us to call no one "father" on earth except the Father in heaven.

[KTRFontana]

Thank you so much for making these! Its ironic y'all posted when you did b/c I gave a talk on baptism on September 28th and I was very disappointed by the lack of cool and helpful videos available. So glad these are now here!

[YourWrong951]

Repent and be baptize, infants can not repent, what this priest said is not biblical and deceiving many people.

Excellent! Something more to show my Protestant Heretics!
