** As Fr. John Hainsworth explains: “God intervenes with mankind through a covenantal relationship. This covenant is not just with one man, but with the whole household in the sense mentioned above. What the Church believes,  Every time God established or spoke about His covenant with the House of Israel, it included the whole of Israel: men, women, and children. Noah’s was asked to enter into the ark with his entire household whole ‘household’ was taken into the ark with him (Genesis 7:1); Abraham had his whole received circumcision with his male children, and male servants, namely, his household circumcised (Genesis 17:23),. Isaac, son of Abraham, received circumcision on the eighth day and specifically his son Isaac when he was eight days old (Genesis 21:4); When the Israelites were departing from Egypt to Canaan, the full household, including children, were part of the caravan and no one was excluded from participating in the Passover the whole household of every family was taken out of Egypt, and God’s institution of the Passover specifically included the children (Exodus 12:24–28). If the Apostles had taught that children were to be excluded from full inclusion in the covenant, such an innovation would not have fit the prophetic covenants that preceded the fulfilled covenant enacted through Christ.”It is on the basis of these Old Testament foundations that the Apostles never prohibited children from receiving the Grace of God.
