Augustine said that infants were the ideal recipients of the sacraments. Augustine was by no means a belittler of faith, but he understood better than the Reformed traditionalists - who perhaps have imbibed a bit too much of intellectualism - that the point of faith is the One upon whom it rests. And if God cannot have full involvement with an infant prior to a self-conscious, intellectually-developed form of faith, then He is not ultimately a God that is worth resting a mature faith upon either.
