““Ultimately, the question here is simple: what has God promised to our children? The biblical answer is clear: He has promised them Himself.

He has promised them holiness (1 Cor. 7:14). He promised to make them Christ’s disciples (Mt. 28:18–20). He has promised them forgiveness (Acts 2:38–39). All taken together, it adds up to a promise of salvation (Acts 16:31). Thus,””
