Moroni 8

Members of the Church in Moroni's day began baptizing their little children, contrary to the established pattern of baptism at "the age of accountability". Moroni's father, Mormon, hearing of this development, writes him a letter concerning the subject. This chapter is that letter he wrote. Regarding the contents of his letter on the baptism of little children, the author himself says it best:

16 ...Behold, I speak with boldness, having authority from God; and I fear not what man can do; for perfect love casteth out all fear.

And then again:

21 ...I speak it boldly; God hath commanded me. Listen unto [my words] and give heed, or they stand against you at the judgment-seat of Christ.

That pretty much sums up this chapter. I do find it very bold. Very bold. Very bold in condemning the practice of baptizing little children. I appreciate how the prophet Mormon explains why baptizing little children not only has no effect eternally, but also constitutes a mockery of Christ's sacrifice and atonement for all mankind.

Little children are beautifully innocent of any sin. I have four little living examples of that fact at home.
