I don’t see any pre-teens or teens exemplified as being baptized anywhere in the New Testament, either.
..........................................................
Do you think a pre-teen or teen can at least believe in Christ when baptized?
How about a baby?
#1...the argument I was addressing was a supposed "absence" from Scripture...IoW, the argument was based upon "lack of revelation"...So now that the argument falls flat on its face, what? We shift to an argument based upon the powers of human observation? (That's quite an abrupt argument shift!)
#2...Last time I looked, John 17:3 defines "eternal life" as "knowing"...
If I asked you how long you've known your Mom, what? You're going to give me some answer that goes back either only to your teenagehood? or pre-teen days??? Really?
Who here is going to claim that a baby has 0% ability to trust (know) another personage?
#3...whatever you conclude about these matters, please keep in mind that however you assign...
...whatever you assign...
...to "infants" and toddlers...
...is likewise also applied to hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of special needs' kids & adults around the world...people who -- intellectually speaking -- are either at or not much beyond that level of development.
