When Should My Children Be Baptized?

A querist asks, “At what point in their life should my children be baptized?”

Ephesians 6:4; 2 Timothy 1:5; 2 Timothy 3:15). This is accomplished by answering any Bible questions they might ask and lovingly encouraging their steps toward faith (1 Peter 3:15; Romans 10:17).

Before we answer the querist’s question by Scripture, let us ask and biblically answer the following question:
