Did The Early Church Baptize Babies?

This video is part 4 in a 5 part series on baptism.

Part 3 – Should Babies Be Baptized? https://youtu.be/PsLXOuhiCpA

Key questions are first related to baptism. What is baptism, are there promises of grace offered in baptism, how are the benefits of those promises received, and is baptism our work or God’s work? From there, we need to ask questions about infants. Are infants sinful in need of God’s grace? Can they have faith to receive that faith? Are there any New Testament indications that infants should be baptized?

One must submit to the Scriptures and put one’s reason, tradition, human authorities, and experiences in submission to Scripture.

This is not Scripture, but the quotes we have from early church fathers affirm baptizing babies. Not baptizing babies didn’t become a practice until the 1500s.
