A case inpoint might be infant dedication vs. infant baptism.

Might be? You see the question is whether there are any protestant "traditions" that "clearly" contradict scripture. If the answer is "might be," then it isn't clear, is it?

There is nothing in scripture that prohibits dedicating your children to God. There are clear prohibitions against bowing before graven images or statues.

I agree 100%!! Maybe I misunderstood the point of the person who posted that protestants have traditions. I would say that they do, and except for a Luthern Church I attended for a while, I would say they don't contradict what the scripture says.

At this ECLA church, the pastor was trying to convince me that infant baptism was "saving" my child. His closest Biblical support he could give was where a "whole family" was baptized. Needless to say, we left that church.

Sincerely
