SAINTS AND SPECIAL OBSERVATIONS LOS SANTOS Y OTRAS CELEBRACIONES

CATECHESIS CORNER Infant Baptism

Fundamentalists often criticize the Catholic Church’s prac-tice of baptizing infants. According to them, baptism is for adults and older children, because it is to be administered only after one has undergone a “born again” experience—that is, after one has “accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior.” At the instant of acceptance, when he is “born again,” the adult be-comes a Christian and his salvation is assured forever. Baptism follows, though it has no actual salvific value. In fact, one who dies before being baptized but after “being saved” goes to heaven anyway. As Fundamentalists see it, baptism is not a sacrament (in the true sense of the word), but an ordinance. It does not in any way convey the grace it symbolizes; rather, it is merely a public mani-festation of the person’s conversion. Since only an adult or older child can be converted, baptism is inappropriate for infants or for children who have not yet reached the age of reason (generally considered to be about age seven). Most Fundamentalists say that during the years before they reach the age of reason infants and young children are automatically saved. Only after a person reaches the age of reason does he need to “accept Jesus” in order to reach heaven. Since the New Testament era, the Catholic Church has al-ways understood baptism differently, teaching that it is a sacra-ment that accomplishes several things, the first of which is the remission of sin—both original sin and actual sin (only original sin in the case of infants and young children, since they are inca-pable of actual sin, and both original and actual sin in the case of older persons). Peter explained what happens at baptism when he said, “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit” (Acts 2:38). But he did not restrict this teaching to adults. He added, “For the promise is to you and to your children and to all that are far off, every one whom the Lord our God calls to him” (2:39). We also read: “Rise and be bap-tized, and wash away your sins, calling on his name” (Acts 22:16). These commands are universal, not restricted to adults. Further, these commands make clear the necessary connection between baptism and salvation, a connection explicitly stated in 1 Peter 3:21: “Baptism . . . now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a clear conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.”

Christ Calls All to Baptism

Although Fundamentalists are the most recent critics of in-fant baptism, opposition to infant baptism is not a new phenome-non. In the Middle Ages, some groups developed that rejected infant baptism, such as the Waldenses and Catharists. Later, the Anabaptists (“re-baptizers”) echoed them, claiming that infants are incapable of being baptized validly. But the Christian Church has always held that Christ’s law applies to infants as well as adults, for Jesus said that no one can enter heaven unless he has been born again of water and the Holy Spirit (cf. John 3:5). His words can be taken to apply to anyone capable of belonging to his kingdom. He asserted such even for children: “Let the chil-dren come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven” (Matt. 19:14). More detail is given in Luke’s account of this event, which reads: “Now they were bringing even infants to him that he might touch them; and when

the disciples saw it, they rebuked them. But Jesus called them to him, saying, ‘Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of God’” (Luke 18:15–16). Now Fundamentalists say that this event does not apply to young children or infants since it implies that the children to which Christ was referring were able to approach him on their own. (Older translations have, “Suffer the little children to come unto me,” which seems to suggest they could do so under their own power.) Fundamentalists conclude that the passage refers only to children old enough to walk, and, presumably, capable of sinning. But the text in Luke 18:15 says, “Now they were bring-ing even infants to him” (Greek: Prosepheron de autō kai ta brep-hē). The Greek word brephe means “infants”—children who are quite unable to approach Christ on their own and who could not possibly make a conscious decision to “accept Jesus as their per-sonal Lord and Savior.” And that is precisely the problem. Fun-damentalists refuse to permit the baptism of infants and young children, because they are not yet capable of making such a con-scious act. But notice what Jesus said: “To such [referring to the infants and children who had been brought to him] belongs the kingdom of heaven.” The Lord did not require them to make a conscious decision. He says that they are precisely the kind of people who can come to him and receive the kingdom. So on what basis, Fundamentalists should be asked, can infants and young children be excluded from the sacrament of baptism? If Jesus said “let them come unto me,” who are we to say “no,” and withhold baptism from them?

In Place of Circumcision

Furthermore, Paul notes that baptism has replaced circumci-sion (cf. Col. 2:11–12). In that passage, he refers to baptism as “the circumcision of Christ” and “the circumcision made without hands.” Of course, usually only infants were circumcised under the Old Law; circumcision of adults was rare, since there were few converts to Judaism. If Paul meant to exclude infants, he would not have chosen circumcision as a parallel for baptism. This comparison between who could receive baptism and circumcision is an appropriate one. In the Old Testament, if a man wanted to become a Jew, he had to believe in the God of Israel and be circumcised. In the New Testament, if one wants to become a Christian, one must believe in God and Jesus and be baptized. In the Old Testament, those born into Jewish house-holds could be circumcised in anticipation of the Jewish faith in which they would be raised. Thus in the New Testament, those born in Christian households can be baptized in anticipation of the Christian faith in which they will be raised. The pattern is the same: If one is an adult, one must have faith before receiving the rite of membership; if one is a child too young to have faith, one may be given the rite of membership in the knowledge that one will be raised in the faith. This is the basis of Paul’s reference to baptism as “the circumcision of Christ”—that is, the Christian equivalent of circumcision. To be continued...

ESQUINA DE CATEQUESIS

Bautismo de Infantes Los fundamentalistas a menudo critican la práctica de la Iglesia Católica de bautizar infantes. Según ellos, el bautismo es para adultos y niños mayores, porque debe administrarse solo después de que uno haya experimentado "nacer de nuevo", es decir, después de haber "aceptado a Jesucristo como su Señor y Salvador personal". instante de aceptación, cuando "nace de nue-vo", el adulto se convierte en cristiano y su salvación está asegurada para siempre. El bautismo sigue, aunque no tiene un verdadero valor salvífico. De hecho, uno que muere antes de ser bautizado pero después de "ser salvo" va al cielo de todos mo-dos. Como lo ven los fundamentalistas, el bautismo no es un sac-ramento (en el verdadero sentido de la palabra), sino una or-denanza. No expresa de ninguna manera la gracia que simboliza; más bien, es meramente una manifestación pública de la con-versión de la persona. Como solo un adulto o un niño mayor puede convertirse, el bautismo es inapropiado para bebés o para niños que aún no han alcanzado la edad de la razón (generalmente se considera que tienen alrededor de siete años). La mayoría de los fundamentalistas dicen que durante los años anteriores a que alcancen la edad de la razón, los bebés y los ni-ños pequeños se guardan automáticamente. Solo después de que una persona alcanza la edad de la razón necesita "aceptar a Jesús" para alcanzar el cielo. Desde la era del Nuevo Testamento, la Iglesia Católica siem-pre ha entendido el bautismo de manera diferente, enseñando que es un sacramento que cumple varias cosas, la primera de las cuales es la remisión del pecado, tanto el pecado original como el pecado real (solo pecado original en el caso de bebés y niños pequeños, ya que son incapaces de cometer un pecado real, y tanto el pecado original como el real en el caso de las personas mayores). Pedro explicó lo que sucede en el bautismo cuando dijo: "Arrepentíos, y bautícese cada uno de vosotros en el nombre de Jesucristo para perdón de los pecados; y recibirás el don del Es-píritu Santo "(Hechos 2:38). Pero él no restringió esta enseñanza a los adultos. Él agregó: "Porque la promesa es para ti, para tus hijos y para todos los que están lejos, para todos los que el Señor nuestro Dios llama" (2:39). También leemos: "Levántate y sé bautizado, y lava tus pecados, invocando su nombre" (Hechos 22:16). Estos comandos son universales, no están restringidos a adultos. Además, estos comandos dejan en claro la conexión necesaria entre el bautismo y la salvación, una conexión expuesta explícitamente en 1 Pedro 3:21: "Bautismo. . . ahora los salva, no como una eliminación de la suciedad del cuerpo, sino como un llamado a Dios por una conciencia limpia, a través de la resurrec-ción de Jesucristo ".

Cristo quiere que todos sean bautizados

Aunque los fundamentalistas son los críticos más recientes del bautismo infantil, la oposición al bautismo infantil no es un fenómeno nuevo. En la Edad Media, algunos grupos desarrol-laron el rechazo del bautismo infantil, como los valdenses y los cátaros. Más tarde, los anabautistas ("re-bautizadores") se hici-eron eco de ellos, alegando que los bebés son incapaces de ser bautizados válidamente. Pero la Iglesia Cristiana siempre ha sos-tenido que la ley de Cristo se aplica tanto a los niños como a los adultos, porque Jesús dijo que nadie puede entrar al cielo a menos que haya nacido de nuevo del agua y del Espíritu Santo (véase Juan 3: 5). Sus palabras se pueden tomar para aplicarse a cualquier persona capaz de pertenecer a su reino. Afirmó que

incluso para los niños: "Dejen que los niños vengan a mí, y no los estorben; porque a los tales pertenece el reino de los cielos "(Mateo 19:14). Más detalles se dan en la cuenta de Lucas de este evento, que dice "Ahora le traían incluso niños para que los tocara; y cuando los discípulos lo vieron, los reprendieron. Pero Jesús los llamó a él, diciendo: "Dejen que los niños vengan a mí, y no los estorben; porque a los tales pertenece el reino de Dios '"(Lucas 18: 15-16). Ahora los fundamentalistas dicen que este evento no se aplica a niños pequeños o infantes ya que implica que los niños a los que Cristo se estaba refiriendo pudieron acercarse a él solos. (Las traducciones anteriores tienen, "Sufren los niños pequeños para venir a mí", lo que parece sugerir que podrían hacerlo bajo su propio poder.) Los fundamentalistas concluyen que el pasaje se refiere solo a niños lo suficientemente mayores para caminar, y, presumiblemente, capaces de pecando Pero el texto en Lucas 18:15 dice: "Ahora le traían incluso niños" (griego: Prospente de autō kai ta brephē). La palabra griega brephe significa "infantes", niños que son completamente incapaces de acercarse a Cristo solos y que posiblemente no puedan tomar una decisión consci-ente de "aceptar a Jesús como su Señor y Salvador personal". Y ese es precisamente el problema. Los fundamentalistas se niegan a permitir el bautismo de bebés y niños pequeños, porque aún no son capaces de hacer un acto tan consciente. Pero fíjense en lo que dijo Jesús: "Para los que [refiriéndose a los niños y los niños que habían sido traídos a él] les pertenece el reino de los cielos". El Señor no les exigió tomar una decisión consciente. Él dice que son precisamente el tipo de personas que pueden acudir a él y recibir el reino. Entonces, ¿sobre qué base se debe preguntar a los fundamentalistas? ¿Pueden los bebés y niños pequeños ser excluidos del sacramento del bautismo? Si Jesús dijo "que vengan a mí", ¿a quién debemos decir "no" y les negamos el bau-tismo?

En lugar de la circuncisión Además, Pablo nota que el bautismo ha reemplazado a la circun-cisión (véase Col. 2: 11-12). En ese pasaje, él se refiere al bautis-mo como "la circuncisión de Cristo" y "la circuncisión hecha sin manos." Por supuesto, por lo general, solo los infantes fueron circuncidados bajo la Ley Antigua; la circuncisión de adultos era rara, ya que había pocos conversos al judaísmo. Si Pablo quería excluir a los infantes, no habría elegido la circuncisión como un paralelo para el bautismo. Esta comparación entre quién podría recibir el bautismo y la circuncisión es apropiada. En el Antiguo Testamento, si un hom-bre quería hacerse judío, tenía que creer en el Dios de Israel y circuncidarse. En el Nuevo Testamento, si uno quiere ser cris-tiano, uno debe creer en Dios y en Jesús y ser bautizado. En el Antiguo Testamento, aquellos nacidos en hogares judíos podrían ser circuncidados en anticipación de la fe judía en la cual serían criados. Por lo tanto, en el Nuevo Testamento, los nacidos en hogares cristianos pueden ser bautizados en anticipación de la fe cristiana en la que serán criados. El patrón es el mismo: si uno es adulto, uno debe tener fe antes de recibir el rito de la membresía; si uno es un niño demasiado pequeño para tener fe, se le puede dar el rito de la membresía en el conocimiento de que uno se criará en la fe. Esta es la base de la referencia de Pablo al bautis-mo como "la circuncisión de Cristo", es decir, el equivalente cristiano de la circuncisión. Continuara….
