Oppose Infant Baptism

Famous quotes containing the words oppose, infant and/or baptism:

“Perchance not he but Nature ailed,
The world and not the infant failed.
It was not ripe yet to sustain
A genius of so fine a strain,
Who gazed upon the sun and moon
As if he came unto his own,
And, pregnant with his grander thought,
Brought the old order into doubt.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
—Bible: New Testament Matthew, 3:17.

A “voice from heaven,” following the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist.
