I found the 3-page Q&A helpful--both biblically and practically. Here are the questions (the numbering in their document is off, as the #6 is missing in their file):
- What is a sacrament?
- What is baptism?
- When should a child be baptized?
- What is a believable profession of faith?
- Does God save young children?
- What is the role of the parent in evaluating a child’s readiness to be baptized?
- If my child said a prayer and invited Jesus into his heart, isn’t that enough to be baptized?
- What is the Lord’s Supper?
- How do baptism and the Lord’s Supper differ?
- When should a child receive the Lord’s Supper?
- Should unbaptized children take the Lord’s Supper?
- What do I say to a child who thinks he is converted if I don’t think he is ready for baptism or the Lord’s Supper?
- Are there any problems with waiting too long to baptize a truly converted child?
- If I have a child who is unbaptized but receiving the Lord’s Supper, how do I go about removing this privilege?
- Why not baptize infants?
- What do I do if my child was baptized as an infant?
- What if my child was baptized at an early age, and now I don’t think he was really converted until later; should he be baptized again?
- What is the role of the church in evaluating a child’s readiness to be baptized and receive the Lord’s Supper?
