Covenant Baptism: A Biblical Perspective

Churches that uphold the Bible to be the word of God and believe that it contains all that is necessary for Christian to believe and practise, and that also adhere to the Westminster Confession of Faith (WCF) as their subordinate standard, believe that infants born to parents of whom at least one is a believer, are entitled to the sacrament of baptism. Bot the Bible and the WCF (25.2) teach this truth. It is the truth as taught by all churches that are entitled to call themselves 'Reformed'. Reformed Christians refer to this practice of baptising infants as Covenant Baptism but it is referred to by some others as Household Baptism and by still others as Paedobaptism; 'paedo' meaning 'infant' in Greek.
