"Believing that your child is a gift from God, and that God will hold you accountable for their precious life, do you now confess that it is your purpose to dedicate them to the Lord and to His service? Will you pray with and for your child; instruct him/her faithfully in the doctrines of the Christian faith; teach them to read the Bible; to pray and to lead a life dedicated to Christ; will you take them faithfully to be with God’s people gathered in worship; and do all that is in your power to bring them to the knowledge and experience of Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord?”
