I think there is some confusion this page between Age of Accountability and age of consent.
Many children have reached the age where they realize the serious nature of christian belief, and thus are accountable for their actions, but are still a part of their family. Age of consent usually is associated with
matters other than baptism, but when consent is a part of baptism, it is very common that the consent of the parents is required for baptism as well as the desire and understanding of the child.
I agree with Ben, this point is definitely confused in this article.
The article for
Baptist seems to have it right. Could we just copy the relevant paragraph over here?
This is tangential to the point of the article, but when you say that Jesus was "resurrected by God", you're implying that Jesus was not himself God, but was as much in need of being resurrected as was Lazarus, for example. Is that what you really mean to say? --Wesley
That may be your interpretation of the phrase, but the implication is only there in your understanding.
The phrase 'resurrected by God' is a rephrasing of a direct quote from the Bible:
- Acts 4:10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
- 1Cor 6:14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.
- Gal 1:1 Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)
- 1Pet 1:21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God
- Hmm, that does look like a direct rephrasing. It just struck me funny in the other context somehow. --Wesley
