To become a Christian meant entering into the redeemed community of the Church of Christ, the new Israel. As the initiation of a Gentile into the old religion was by circumcision and proselyte baptism, so the initiation into the new Israel was by Christian baptism. And the new Israel did not ignore the family any more than did the old. Thus to a Jew it would seem the most natural thing in the world that when a man became a Christian, he should have his children baptized as well as himself, just as he had had his sons circumcised in their infancy and just as any proselyte coming into the Jewish community from outside should have his infant sons circumcised and baptized with proselyte baptism as well as himself.
Donald Baillie, 1957
