Matt. 19:14 wrote:But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
With this new policy, the LDS Church is breaking a commandment spoken by Jesus Christ during his mortal ministry: "Suffer the little children, and forbid them not, to come into me."
Then this:
D&C 68:25-27 wrote:25 And again, inasmuch as parents have children in Zion, or in any of her stakes which are organized, that teach them not to understand the doctrine of repentance, faith in Christ the Son of the living God, and of baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of the hands, when eight years old, the sin be upon the heads of the parents.
26 For this shall be a law unto the inhabitants of Zion, or in any of her stakes which are organized.
27 And their children shall be baptized for the remission of their sins when eight years old, and receive the laying on of the hands.
Here the divine commandment is for children to be baptized for the remission of their sins when eight years old. There is no condition placed on this baptism. The scripture never says, "unless that child's parents are sinning in "x" way." This is very clear.
And whether it applies specifically, the larger principle of this canonized article of faith is something I think does apply.
Articles of Faith, 1:2 wrote:2 We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam’s transgression.
By denying baptism children who are eligible for it, according to canonized divine revelation, at the age of 8, and by penalizing children eligible for baptism because of the sin of their parents, the LDS Church has entered into apostasy.
