Man does not save himself by his own free will. God saves whomever He wills by the power of His soverign grace and that includes covenant children. John the Baptist, Isaiah, and Jeremiah are examples of God's redemption in the womb. God's promise is signed and sealed with the sacrament of covenant baptism.

“ Great Sermon! ” I, also, think this would be extraordinarily helpful.

“ MEdmonson ” Being new to this understanding of baptism, I am in overwhelmed with all the areas of the christian life it impacts. Please, would you run a series of sermons plumbing its breadth. Thank you for your courage to take on this issue.

“ Enlightening ” While qualifying the fact that we are saved by grace and grace alone,
I also see baptism as a reflection of the believer's obedience to God.
Acts 2 vs 38 states that repentance and baptism are required
for the forgiveness of sin. This sermon shows how the grace of God is
the only thing that can save us and I agree! Yet please do not undermine
the importance of repentance of sin by the individual.

“ Great Sermon! ” One of the most enlightening sermons on Infant Baptism I have heard to date.
We are saved "According to the good pleasure of His will" and not our own understanding, whether eight days old or 80 years old.
"For the promise is made unto you, and to your children" Why do we withhold the blessing of baptism from them when our Savior plainly says " Suffer the little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me; for of such is the kingdom of Heaven."
Man is so foolish, and it grieves God, when we withold the sign of God's grace from our children.

“ Great Sermon! ” Highly recommend this sermon to anyone who is raising children whether they are baptistic(professing believers only), or covenant-baptizers(infants of believers as well). While I myself differ in my understanding of to whom baptism should be administered, I found this to be a highly scriptural and convicting sermon showing the relation between our responsibility and God's sovereignty in our children's salvation.
