Children

A problem that the church has never resolved is what to do with the children of believers. Some young people with Christian parents have grown up always believing in Jesus and wanting to serve him. How should they be initiated into the Church? Infant baptism was one solution that proved unworkable. The modern church tends to want children to rebel, so that they can be converted and baptised as believers, but this does not seem right either. We need a recognised path for children who love Jesus.
