Understanding Baptism and Church Membership

This chapter explores the theological implications of baptism for children of believers and their status as church members within a covenant community. It discusses the distinctions between non-commuting and commuting members, the role of faith in accessing church sacraments, and the responsibilities of church elders towards all members, especially children. The chapter further examines the nuances of membership vows, voting rights in church matters, and the importance of nurturing spiritual growth across diverse member backgrounds.
