If we ignore our duties, there can be adverse affects. For example , the child gets sick, God knows him, but as parents you failed to do as you were commanded to do in faith. Dies , will the child be taken care of under the covenants ,of HIS ( Gods)laws ( not mans) .Do you know when your ticket will be punched? your childes? I am sure that is what your friend is thinking.
so by your logic, there should be no 'non- christians' alive on the earth because god would have killed us all. hmmmm wonder why that isnt the case?
(Psalm127:3)
Lo, children are a heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
We as parents will be held accountable before God for the discharge of the obligations we have as Husbands, Wives, Fathers and Mothers. Families are ordained by God. For us to deny our Saviours teachings, is like his coming to have died for nothing. Was jesus not Perfect in every way? did he really need to be baptized? He did it to show and teach us what we needed to do .

There has been many young children taken over by evil Spirits at a very young age.
Who cares to dispute it.
If So, why not good ones as well?
Are you suggesting presenting my child before the Lord in a church will keep them from evil spirits? Please give me the verse that backs up your thoughts.
Another thread that has gotten completely off the track of the OP's question. why is that?
The basic question has been answered over and over again. There is NO WHERE in the Bible where it is demanded to present/baptize/dedicate/sprinkle a child. Baptism is reserved for after the age of accountability. Which varies with each child, but generally speaking is somewhere around the age of 13/14. Why do you think that the Jewish nation still practices the barmitzva ritual ? After that in Gods eyes, children have reached a point of knowledge that makes them accountable for their own actions with regards to spiritual things. They can freely choose to accept or reject God.
MY TURN AT THIS: I've about heard enough--------------------- Anyone with Christian faith, abides by the traditions of the church; if the church 'dedicates' a child in the name of the Lord in front of the congregation it is showing that the parents and witnesses acknowledge in the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ, that they "WILL" raise their children in a Christian home, teaching them without reservation of the teachings of God and the Bible. THIS IS A PROMISE to GOD.
There are many in this thread that speak 'of' religion, IT IS NOT religion, it is belief in the Lord Jesus Christ. AND HIS Teaching.
Those that question these teachings you must seek a Man of God (Pastor) to talk to and GET educated; for all the others, MAY God bless you and the children.
