We're trying to introduce you to the Shepherd.,

Yes, but are you trying to introduce us to the Shepherd that teaches people to baptize babies.

Or

Are you trying to introduce us to that other Shepherd that teaches that infant baptism is false doctrine???

Which Shepherd are you trying to introduce me to?

It doesn’t matter.

It seems that all Mormons have been sent out today to ask the baptism question.

What is baptism? If you answer that question for me, then we might be able to start to have a conversation about it.

They are the same shepard.

Baptism is a means of grace (a concept the LDS don’t understand).

The denominations that practice infant baptism (where the child is baptized so that they may grow in faith) have the rite of confirmation, which is a public declaration of faith.

For the groups that do not practice infant baptism (they have baby dedications where a child is blessed so that they may grow in faith). Then baptism becomes a public declaration of faith.
