Can I baptize a baby on the sly? | Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P.

Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P., a Dominican priest and author, discusses the theological question of baptizing a child against their parents' wishes and the implications it has on salvation and God's providence. The conflicts surrounding the necessity of baptism and the importance of raising children in the faith are explored. Thomas Aquinas' emphasis on the need for belief in God in the context of baptism is discussed, along with the process of salvation and living Christian lives. The importance of conversion, belief, and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ in achieving salvation is highlighted.
