That's so great. What a blessing that is. Getting to baptize your own children has got to be one of the greatest blessings of a minister.

"To believe in the power of man in the work of regeneration is the great heresy of Rome, and from that error has come the ruin of the Church. Conversion proceeds from the grace of God alone, and the system which ascribes it partly to man and partly to God is worse than Pelagianism" (The Reformation in England (London, 1962), Vol. 1, p. 98)

So Bruce, were you thinking to yourself, "These are my children, in whom I am well pleased!"

That is wonderful brother, I share your joy.

Fantastic!

Doubly blessed to have twins!

Indeed it must be - wonderful day of praise I'm sure it was, Bruce.



Of course, we baptize our children twice weekly, sometimes by full immersion, but on occasion the littlest one likes to be sprinkled.

The Regulative Principle: Samuel Miller gives a succinct statement of this principle when he writes that since the Scriptures are the “only infallible rule of faith and practice, no rite or ceremony ought to have a place in the public worship of God, which is not warranted in Scripture, either by direct precept or example, or by good and sufficient inference.”

Praise the Lord! Having come to the Paedo baptist position as a family only recently and about to have our two little ones baptized next Lord's Day, this announcement is especially sweet to my ears!

Congratulations!

Are the twins boy/girl, boys/girls, how old, etc...etc... You know, us women like details!

(3 John 1:4) I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.

Grace -- We are so happy for y'all and looking very much forward to the baptisms. You may want to check out this thread.

Thank you Andrew...I'm slow...I just can't figure out how "I" missed a baby announcement! OH well...I guess I need to pay better attention, thank you for being patient with your reforming sista!

I'm down with that, sista, no apologies needed. There is a lot of information to absorb on the PB. Good news is nice to find (Prov. 25.25)!
