Doug Wilson Says ‘A Christian Education for Christian Kids Is Mandated by Scripture’
“When it comes to the question of education, I have argued for years as a pastor that a Christian education for Christian kids is mandated by Scripture (Eph. 6:1–4).” — Doug Wilson
Doug Wilson Says ‘Paedocommunion Consistently Expresses Christ’s Purposes In Giving Us the Sacraments’
“...an infant....participated in the sacrament in utero for nine months, and continues to participate at that same level until he is weaned. So in our congregation, the time between such organic participation and individual participation is very short, and corresponds to a similar transition on the physical level between milk and solids. So I don’t see such a child being excluded from anything.” — Doug Wilson
Doug Wilson Says ‘Children of Obedient Believers Will Become Believers’
“Now many children of believing parents do not become believers themselves. At the same time, children of obedient believers will become believers. ‘Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it’ (Prov. 22:6). The sovereign God uses means to accomplish His purposes in election, and His appointed and revealed means for the conversion of covenant children is obedient parents–not elect parents who are disobedient in how they bring up children.” — Doug Wilson
