Whereas, our Church has an adequate practice of infant baptism, to be followed by later acceptance of Christ when the child matures; and

Whereas, we do not see any biblical precedent that a child would automatically be true to Christ without personal commitment;

Therefore, be it resolved, that General Conference leave all appropriate Discipline paragraphs as they currently read and that infants be counted as at present.
