To: one Lord one faith one baptism

I’m “Bible does not teach anywhere that infants are not to be baptized.”

If that is your standard of truth, you might as well argue that potatoes bring saving grace, since the bible never denies it.

Theology isn’t built on air. It is built on revelation. There is none for infant baptism.

“does say whole families were baptized. Did the Apostles baptize infants? The answer is absolutely yes. How do we know? The Church witnessed them do it and followed their practice for close to 2,000 years now.”

Never does it say “whole families were baptized”

Never does it say an Apostle baptized an infant.

You have nothing but air to argue your case, which is false.

Whole families never baptized? Hmm, that would be news to the jailer and his family in Acts 16:33.

Christian theology is based on revelation and that revelation came from the Apostles. Christians are commanded to hold firm to this Apostolic Tradition, whether received by letter or word of mouth. The Church has followed the Apostolic Tradition of baptizing infants.

The Church received the commission to teach and baptize from Jesus Christ............it can’t force anyone to listen.
