[Campion]

A child that does not know right from wrong does not know what repenance means and is therfore not able to repent.

What would you suggest he repent from, exactly? People who can't commit sin can't repent. Are you saying it's necessary to sin in order to become a Christian?

One could argue that the original sin of Adam and Eve applies to all mankind. However, that is a separate argument for another thread.

I am not saying that one MUST sin prior to becoming a Christian. I am saying that if a person has sinned, one must repent and be baptized. That being dunked, immersed, sprinkled, dabbed or wiped ALONE does not meet the criteria set forth by Jesus. Repentance is a key required component.
