I have no disagreement with the verse you quoted, but it has nothing to do with infant baptism.

Are you one of those who imagine only Jewish men thirty years of age and older are eligible for baptism ?

Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; And did all eat the same spiritual meat; And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

No, but I am one who imagines it is impossible for an infant to repent; they have no concept or awareness of sin, and are unable to speak. Thus, to baptize them would not be according to the command of Peter in Acts. (It might also be hard to get them to hold their breath as you put them under the water...)

for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ Peter.
