I need Bible quotes for a baptism?

My kids are being baptized and I need some help selecting a Bible quote for my son and daughter (one each). The quote should have something to do with children. Chapter and verse will be great in lieu of the entire quote. Thanks!

    Matthew 19:13 Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.

    14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

    15 And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.

    Matthew 18:1 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

    2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,

    3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

    4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

    5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.

    I love this next one for this proves that the children have guardian angels that watch over them.

    Matthew 18:10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.

    Edit: I hope that you and your family have a blessed day on that wonderful day that your children will be baptized. I'm so sorry that you have to see that there are many people that would try to offend in these times of joy. Don't be offended. They're not worth it.

    Acts 2:38; 1 Peter 3:21; Col 2:12

    How old are your children? Because there are not really a lot of scriptures about children being baptized but in Acts 2:38 it says we must repent first so I mean if they are old enough to know that they need to change their mind (which is all that repenting is) and live for God, that scripture is for everyone. But I mean if its a baby and they cant talk they obviously cant understand what repentance is and they really have nothing to repent about. If they are old enough though I would highly encourage you to look into it with them and see if they understand what they are doing. and also there are some requirements of the one doing the baptising so I would look into that as well.

    baptism is the final act of being saved because you are following the Lord's example as He was baptised by John the Baptist obeying God showing mankind that you are special now.

    1 Samuel 15:3 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ***.

    Make sure your children are aware of the evil the God you want them to worship is capable of.
