Your Childs Profession Of Faith PDF Download

Gundersen's unique treatment of this rarely addressed subject can make the difference between parents who participate in their children's deception and presumption or parents who truly guide them to eternal life. If a small child tells us he thinks he's saved, do we take his words at face value? How do we test his profession, especially without seeming to doubt the child and discourage him? Many have found this book the most useful guide ever written on the topic. "A Christian parent would sooner die than make a mistake with the soul of his or her child. And yet so often it's hard to distinguish the stirrings of the Spirit in the soul of a child from their natural curiosity about the things of God that they hear about at church and home. In other words, just because a child starts asking questions about God and the Bible doesn't necessarily indicate he is close to salvation but may merely reflect the normal thoughtfulness of a growing child about what he's learning at church and home. Still, we always want to encourage and nurture any such Godward interest as much as possible. Dennis Gundersen's book can help parents point a child to Christ and guide them in walking along a biblical path that avoids manipulation and false assurance on the one hand, and presumption and neglect on the other." -- Donald S.
