Matthew, it is not my place to say when a child has reached the ability to understand the gospel. This much I do know, it is the gospel that saves. The gospel is taught, Christian principles modeled and the child exposed to the blessings of the church. I don't care whether the child was baptized or not. Salvation is not secured differently for either of them. When the time comes that they are able to understand the gospel and profess faith in Christ - praise God!

Beware of a religion without holdfasts. But if I get a grip upon a doctrine they call me a bigot. Let them do so. Bigotry is a hateful thing, and yet that which is now abused as bigotry is a great virtue, and greatly needed in these frivolous times. I have been inclined lately to start a new denomination, and call it "the Church of the Bigoted." Spurgeon
