Frequently Asked Questions
Why are infant children baptized at CVP?
Our church baptizes the children of believers because we believe the Scriptures direct us to do so. This practice is not derived from Roman Catholicism. Rather, Roman Catholicism corrupts what was originally the historic practice of the Church. We do not believe that baptism eternally saves children or erases original sin (as does Catholicism). Rather, we believe that Jesus instituted baptism to replace circumcision. Just as the eight-day-old children of believing Israelites were circumcised, so do we baptize the infant children of believers.
