there is no Bible verse that says, "don't baptize infants"

Nor is there any example of baptizing infants, any reference to baptizing infants, or even the slightest hint at any concept remotely approaching the baptizing of infants in the entire New Testament.

Colossians 2:11-12 connects baptism directly with circumcision. Jewish boys were always circumcised on the eighth day of life. Jews would expect that infants would be received into the covenant formally; that is what they were already used to.

Infant baptism is the default position assumed by Scripture.
