Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book argues the early conversion of children is essential and possible. The author, a 19th-century Methodist minister, claims all infants are born justified, meaning they are not subject to condemnation for the sin of Adam. Consequently, the author asserts that baptism does not confer a state of holiness but rather recognizes a state of justification. The author contends that all children not only possess initial life (a degree of spiritual life unconditionally imparted by the Holy Spirit) but can have regenerating life (the beginning of a close relationship with Jesus) at the earliest age. Drawing on Scripture, the author maintains that children possess the intellectual, moral, and emotional capacity to experience spiritual conviction, repentance, faith, and regeneration. The author passionately advocates for the spiritual nurture of children and warns against the devastating effects of delaying conversion. They recognize the profound impact of innate depravity but believe the grace of God can overcome this obstacle. The author encourages parents to diligently instruct their children, emphasizing the importance of prayer, religious example, and seeking the earliest conversion possible.
