My youngest grandchild will be baptised today!  

Baptism is a wonderful God-given gift.  The benefit of baptism is forgiveness of sins and the promise of salvation in Jesus Christ.

“Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.  I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”  Luke 18:16-17

You don’t have to be a young child to be baptised and receive God’s gift.  I was in elementary school when I was baptised and my late father was baptised as an adult.
