Moroni 8
I wonder if Moroni himself was ever confused on the issue of infant baptism or if he had a correct understanding even before receiving this epistle from his father. Was this epistle to reach Moroni or simply to encourage him and emphasize the importance of the issue. I personally suspect that Moroni sought Mormon’s perspective on the issue because he didn’t feel that he had enough theological firing to successfully oppose the practice of infant baptism.
The real danger in the practice isn’t what might happen physically to the infants but what happens to our minds when we deny mercy and trust in dead works.
