The unbelieving baby who dies before before a man gets his head wet is bound for Hell?

No one ever said that. We have no particular revelation about this situation, but trust in the mercy of God.

What if the man who baptizes the unbelieving baby is a child molesting pedophile? What then?

What of it? If God was incapable of using sinful man to further His plan of salvation, we'd all be going to hell. Did anyone ever help you find God? Did you ever help anyone else? Are you without sin or merely under the impression your sin is not so bad as to offend God?

If getting an unbelieving baby;s head wet can save them, then why did Jesus have to die?

Jesus died so that we could bring His salvation to others through His sacraments.

It's stunning how many people can't understand the concept of sacraments.

What I can figure out is why so many are so against baptism. It is only one of the commands that Christ gave us.

Probably because Jesus blodd clesnses us from ALL sin, so "sacraments" are not needful. They are just works of flesh and will burn.

It's stunning that people don't trust Christ.

true -- so many forget the meaning of the word "Limbo": an unknown state -- in short, when we say that unbaptised infants are in limbo -- it means that we just do not know -- GOD knows.
