305. What is the connection between Baptism and teaching?

Jesus inseparably connects Baptism and teaching (Matthew 28:19-20).

A. Those who are able to receive instruction are normally baptized after being taught the main articles of the Christian faith.

Read Acts 2:38-41; 8:26-39; 16:25-33.

B. Infants and young children should be brought to Baptism as soon as possible and then instructed in the Christian faith as they are able to receive instruction.

Read Luke 18:15-17; Mark 10:13-15; and 2 Corinthians 6:2.
