John Knox was a giant of Scottish history and indeed in the history of Reformation. He was a key reason for the success of the Scottish Reformation and in the development of the Church of Scotland. He was also significant in that he ensured that the Church was influenced by Calvinism in its governance and theology.

John Knox, a leader of the Scottish Reformation, died on 24 November 1572 in Edinburgh. The Scottish Reformation began after Knox preached a fiery sermon at the church of St John the Baptist in Perth, after which a mob began to riot and loot the surrounding churches and friaries.

Presbyterians baptize only once because of what baptism signifies, because God does not ask us baptize again, and because God forbids adding to his Word.

Presbyterian, Congregational and Reformed Christians believe that baptism, whether of infants or adults, is a “sign and seal of the covenant of grace”, and that baptism admits the party baptised into the visible church. It merely marked him as a member of God’s covenant people Israel.

Most churches will welcome a request to baptise your child even if you are not a church member or do not regularly attend church. There may be a few extra steps, like meeting with the pastor or attending a class. Churches want to baptise, but want to make sure it is being done for the right reason.
