Behr's Baptism Video



Behr's baptism was an incredible exprience for us as parents. After receiving several questions about why we chose to baptism Behr, and our faith, I thought I would share with all of you what we believe.

As Christians, we believe that we have a covenant relationship with God and the promise of salvation through Jesus Christ. Baptism is a physical sign of God's covenant promise of salvation. Our child is not magically saved through the act of being baptized, but rather baptism is an act of faith. As Behr's parents, our faith is being exercised in our bringing our son before God and sealing him with the promise. We are committing that we will raise him up in faith.

I hope that sharing this does not spark debate, but rather allows you to know more about me and my family. I respect your choice to disagree with me and I would happy to discuss my faith further if you choose, but please keep the comments here positive.
