Those who distort the Lord's ways in this manner will be cursed, for they will die spiritually unless they repent.

I speak with boldness, having authority from God. I'm not afraid of what anyone may do to me, for perfect love removes all fear.

I'm filled with charity--an everlasting love. All children are alike to me. I love them with a perfect love, and they are all saved. I know God is not unfair and doesn't change His ways.

Little children cannot repent, so it's awful wickedness to deny the pure mercies of God to them, for they're all alive in Him because of His mercy.

Those who say little children need baptism deny Christ's mercy, for they dismiss His atonement and the power of His redemption. Such people are cursed and in danger of spiritual death, hell and endless torment of soul.

God has commanded me to speak boldly. Listen to me and be obedient or my words will stand against you at the judgment-seat of Christ.

All little children and all those without Christ's law are alive in Him. The power of His redemption saves all who have no law. They are not condemned, for with no law, they cannot repent. This is why baptizing those without the law is meaningless.

To put trust in dead works such as baptizing those with no law is to deny Christ's mercy and the power of His Holy Spirit--it is mockery before God.
