Yesterday's sermon was preached by Pastor Christopher Engelsma. The sermon was a continuation of the pastor's series on Acts, but we read from Ezekiel and took a look at Acts. The sermon touched on baptism, similar to the last couple of sermons as we are studying the pouring out of the Holy Spirit onto the early Christians. Some modern Christians believe that only people who can make a credible confession of faith can be allowed to have the sacrament of baptism. However, as we study the Bible, we can see a reason to believe otherwise. The Hebrews would've understood a baptism to be a family event. If the head of a house was baptized, the entire house, including his children, which included the infants, would've been baptized. This practice appeared to have continued throughout the early church.
