“Some say household. Lol, household is even more likely to include babies as not only is the entire family included in the household, but in those days household would also include extended family, friends and servants.”
Your invisible baby is crying so very loudly, “waaa! I am never named in Scripture!!! waaaaa”
“I am still waiting to read about the Church controversy that ensured in the first and second century when infant baptism was invented by the apostate Catholic Church and the “true” Christian Church opposed this false teaching.”
It didn’t come from the Apostles. Never recorded. In this argument, you have nothing but air.
The only alternative is the source was non-Apostolic.
“Again, if someone attends a church that practices what is called “believers baptism”.........imagine this Sunday walking into the morning service and the pastor is dunking a baby in the baptismal pool. Would you just shrug your shoulders and say “ oh, that’s different” or would the pastor be fired on the spot?”
If it were a bible believing Church, he would be spoken to, if he portrayed it as believers baptism. If he argued that it was, he should be fired/
“The Church in the first century was no different.”
Again, your invisible, assumed baby needs a change quickly. He “stinketh.”
“Infant baptism was not a point of contention until the 16th century and even then, the majority of Protestants kept to the Apostolic Tradition.”
I agree. It is amazing how returning to the Scriptures cuts through a millenia of pagan practices.
There you have it, the Church was “pagan” for 1,500 years.
Just amazing.
