We baptized our baby boy on Sunday. What a blessing to be part of a church that loves and cares for children so much. These are the vows we took, as well as one the congregation took.1) Do you renounce the devil and all his work, the empty show and false values of this world, and the sinful desires of the flesh, so that you will not follow nor be led by them?
2) Do you acknowledge your child's need of the cleansing blood of Jesus Christ, and the renewing of the Holy Spirit?
3) Do you claim God's covenant promises on his behalf, and do you look in faith to the Lord Jesus Christ for his salvation, as you do for your own?
4) Do you now unreservedly dedicate your child to God, and promise in humble reliance upon His grace, that you will endeavor to set before him a godly example, that you will pray with him and for him, that you will teach him the truths of the Christian faith, and that you will strive, by all means of God's appointment, to bring him up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord?
5) Do you as a congregation undertake the responsibility of assisting the parents in the Christian nurture of this child?
