There is no Scripture that says we must be adults to be addressed

God says that we MUST believe first.

The man made traditions of the Catholic chucrh can not change what God has says and you follow the man made traditions at the peril of your soul.

Please reconsider, and trust God. His word is true.

"God says that we MUST believe first."

Full Court, since the founding of the Church by Jesus Christ, the Faith of the community has always preceded the faith of the individual. In the Baptism of infants, it is based upon the faith of the parents, and their commitment to rearing the Child within the Faith that the Child is Baptized. Without the commitment to raising the Child in the Faith, the Child will not be baptized.

The original comment was that Jesus said we have to be adults to be baptized. I haven't seen that Scripture yet, but am eagerly waiting for someone to produce it.

"The man made traditions of the Catholic chucrh can not change what God has says and you follow the man made traditions at the peril of your soul. Please reconsider, and trust God. His word is true."

I appreciate your concern for my soul. Certainly God's Word is true, and we all want to follow it. Can you show me where the Bible explicitly prohibits the Baptism of infants?
