Episode Details

In this episode we address common objections to infant baptism, explaining why this practice is deeply rooted in Scripture and Lutheran theology. We’ll explore why Lutherans don’t see baptism as a mere human act, but as a divine work through which God grants faith, forgiveness, and salvation—even to infants. We’ll also debunk myths about infant baptism, such as the idea that babies can’t have faith or that baptism guarantees salvation without ongoing faith.

The Rev. Thomas Eckstein, pastor of Concordia Lutheran Church in Jamestown, ND, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to discuss infant baptism.
