Child Dedication
The dedication of a child is a commitment of the parents to raise their child in the ways of the Lord - verses found in Deuteronomy chapter six. Child dedication has its roots in the Old Testament, where first-born males were to be brought to the temple and dedicated to the Lord. Dedication does not mean that the child is automatically going to Heaven - it is simply an expression of the parent's commitment to raise their children in the ways of the Lord.
