<TITLE>03. Par 12-17</TITLE>L-12 This one here? All right, sir. That'll be fine. All right. I had... I was in the wrong place. I think it was me that was in the wrong place.
Now, we have a little song that we usually sing about this time for the little fellows, that is, "Bring Them In, bring the little ones to Jesus." Now in the...
Many churches sprinkle these little fellows, and that's all right if they want to do that; that's strictly all right as far as I am concerned. And others has ways that they, maybe, that they call that baptism, and if they want to call that baptism that's all right, as far as I'm concerned.
But the Scriptures is what we try to follow just the way the Bible says it, just keep just in the Scriptures. There's no place in the Bible in the New Testament, but what they brought little children to Jesus and He blessed them, and said, "Suffer little children to come unto Me, for of such is the Kingdom of heaven."

L-16 We feel that a baby has no sin, no more than its sin that it was borned in. We're all borned in sin, shaped in iniquity, come to the world speaking lies. And now, when Jesus died at Calvary, He took away the sins of the world. Then the baby could've been born, or it might've died before it was born; or born before it comes to the age of accountability, it has no sins. Jesus took away the sins of the world.

L-17 Now, let's all sing this good old hymn now, we sing now. I don't know whether I can lead or not.
Bring them in, bring them in,
Bring them in from the fields of sin;
Bring them in, bring them in,
Bring the little ones to Jesus.
What's his name? Teddy, Junior. All right, sir.

May I have him just a minute? This is young Teddy Arnold. We all know Teddy here, he's our--a brother here at the church, married my brother's daughter here, Donna. And they have this little fellow here, a newcomer. Think this is your second. And the other one is a little girl, isn't that right? He's a bright-looking little fellow. I'm always afraid I'll break them when they're come to...?... so--so dainty-like, I just afraid they'll break.
Now could you imagine a mother bringing her little one like this to the Lord Jesus? If He was here this morning in Person like we're standing, this mother would quickly run up to Him and wanting Him to lay His hands upon this baby and bless it. Daddy's heart would jump for joy. We know that God has give this to their union and they want to give it back to God in appreciations of Him giving it to them. Let us bow our heads.
