A Mother's Journey From Being A Baptist To Lutheranism



I just finished reading a blog post titled, "The Girl's Baptism and Reflection," from one of my parishioners at Sidney Lutheran Brethren Church.  She shares her journey from being a Baptist to discovering Lutheranism.  She expounds on her wrestling with infant baptism in her post.  Here is an excerpt:

Baptists need to think really hard about her important point:

We are all as helpless as infants in relation to our salvation. We don't come to Christ in a free-will decision to "accept" him. He comes to us and gives salvation as a free gift.
