Baptism Question.

[Tangible]

all baptism examples show someone who at least knows what its for .

Not necessarily. There were entire households that were baptized, which certainly included infants and small children.

Also, Acts 2:38 And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.”

No thanks are necessary, young man. It's all in a days work for your friendly local Paedobaptizer Man.

You are all being very helpful.

I'll have the pastor talk to him, and see how it goes from there.

Thanks.

You're welcome, and thanks for asking us. You certainly can't go wrong by taking it to the pastor. The boy will understand that his thinking was respected, and the pastor can explain, with authority, why the final decision should be what it is.
