From the Augsburg Confession, Article 9 Article IX: Of Baptism. 1] Of Baptism they teach that it is necessary 2] to salvation, and that through Baptism is offered the grace of God, and that children are to be baptized who, being offered to God through Baptism are received into God's grace. 3] They condemn the Anabaptists, who reject the baptism of children, and say that children are saved without Baptism.
