Mormon compares his fatherly love to that of the pure love of Christ. He extends that love to all children. Mormon declares that God does not change, and therefore it is God’s love that will cover for the children who die before their time, before the time when they could be accountable for their actions. It is “awful wickedness” to teach that a little child requires baptism to cleanse them from sins they cannot commit. Baptism is a fruit of repentance, but little children certainly cannot repent. In some people’s minds, little children still do not meet the qualifications for baptism. The point is, however, that little children do not need repentance or baptism.
