English is the not the best lanquage for relaying the original concept of some of these words. For instance love.. I love you, I love America, I love Mom and Dad.
One word for 'love' is pretty inadequate, while fear can also mean lots of different things.
Fear can mean respect too.

The Bible says to fear God. Probably as a way of respect.

I accept as true with you that toddler baptism is valid, yet enable's have a glance on the verses and statements you provided. - "enable the youngsters come to me" has no longer something to do with toddler baptism. This became Jesus' representation of the childlike faith we are to have with God. - you come back very on the brink of a works-orientated view of salvation once you're saying that baptism is had to enter the dominion of heaven. Baptism isn't a free bypass. back, your quote of John 3:5 has no longer something to do with toddler baptism. - you've not got any info that "total households" must have protected children, and credo Baptists will reject this argument promptly. a much better argument utilizing those verses will be that the lifestyle of the day in touch authority mandating it, which may have utilized to different halves, servants, and youngsters of any age, because Papa pronounced so. you're brilliant, besides the undeniable fact that, that the Bible does no longer forbid toddler baptism. this can positioned the load of info onto the credo Baptists to exhibit how man or woman judgements would want to be made contained in the face of a lifestyle that would have rejected Christianity outright if baptism did not contain the children.

Most of them don't, some sects use "fire and brimstone" in their sermons to put fear in their followers and gain control.
Smiting those who don't follow God's (i.e their) commands is quite an effective method of control.

Don't you fear your parents as in fear of disappointing them even though you know they love you?

Does your father love you? Do you love him? Do you not fear disappointing and disobeying him? God loves me. I love God. I fear disobeying Him and disappointing His trust in me.

God is love. God is also severity. He has expectations of us. If we walk in His will, we see His love, when we don't we see His severity.
