They seem to think baptism is something they did to honor the Catholic Church, instead of in obedience to Scripture.
That’s the problem with infant baptism - it’s done for the parents, as the child is too young to know what’s going on. But when we become of an age of awareness and are baptised, we know we’re doing it as commanded by our Lord, and to identify with His death, burial and resurrection.
Well, if we’re going to use the “infant does not give it’s consent” then why bring the baby to the doctor? Why give it immunizations, why change the diapers? The baby didn’t give its consent. The parent is obviously acting in the best interest of the child for its body AND its soul.
I can never understand why infant baptism is such a stumbling block for protestans. Its all good. Besides, what happens if that baby dies?
Nooo, it’s done in case the child dies before reaching the age of reason, so they won’t go to hell or get stuck in limbo for eternity. Let all who have ears hear.
Waaah. I don’t like the church. I wanna take back my baptism. I protest. Let him go join the baptists. They have the opposite problem - they think you can get baptized again, and again, and again. We say to them, you still only got baptized once, the rest of the times, you went swimming.
