How can an unbeliever be saved by sprinkling water on it's head? That isn't in God's Word.

You didn't digest everything I said. I said, "form and matter." The form comes from Scripture, specifically Matthew 28: 19. The baptism of infants also comes from Scripture: 1 Cor. 1:16.

I Cor 1:16 does not say that infants were baptized. You are assuming that the household mentioned included infants. Please do not add to that which is written.

The Bible says only those that already believe may be baptized.

So how could an unbelieving baby be saved by water on it's head?

I'm sorry, but this scripture says nothing about baptizing infants. If you want to check out the next line to find out how much credence Paul put on baptism.... here it is
