Moroni 8
I believe that the law of circumcision is the origin for the idea of infant baptism. I also believe that while circumcision was meant to bring the child into a covenant relationship with the Lord it’s real effect was to place a mark on the child at an early age which would remind him throughout his life of the faith of his fathers. It is the parents who chose circumcision (in the cases where it was done to children) and thus it was an indication of their faith and the children’s heritage.
