Catechesis: Holy Baptism

So we do likewise in infant Baptism. We bring the child in the conviction and hope that it believes, and we pray that God may grant it faith. But we do not baptize it for that reason, but solely because of God’s command. Why? Because we know God does not lie. I and my neighbor and, in short, all people, may err and deceive. But God’s Word cannot err.—LC IV:57
