only adults were said to be baptized? really, you know the jailer had no cildren how?

the problem those who hold your position have is 2,000 years of Christian history says you are wrong.

the Church the Apostles left behind BAPTIZED INFANTS.

the very men you rely on to set the canon of the NT BAPTIZED INFANTS.

this wasn’t an issue until the 16th century.

what arrogance to think no one understood baptism until the 16th century.

“only adults were said to be baptized? really, you know the jailer had no cildren how?”

O.K., If we are to assume that he had children, assume since none are mentioned, then we may assume anything else we wish about them, perhaps assuming they were grown children living in the household, not uncommon even today.

But if we go with what the Scriptures say then only adults are spoken of as being baptized.

The long list of Church Fathers shows none defending infant baptism from the Scriptures.

So the pattern from the Scriptures was discipleship, baptism, learning the commandments. 1,2,3.

Because the scriptures forbid the baptizing of babies...

If someone says all your kids were at one time Boy Scouts, you know what that means???

But to lay this thing to rest, why not turn to the scriptures...Perhaps you can find a bible on line so you can follow along...

Act 16:32 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.

Did you see that??? They spoke onto him the word of the Lord...And to all that were in his house...

They spoke to everyone in his house...Did they speak to babies???

Act 16:34 And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.

Oh no, there's more???

THE ENTIRE HOUSEHOLD BELIEVED IN GOD...NO BABIES...

Anything and everything you can say or copy and paste contrary to the words of God are a waste of perfectly good air...

You want to post the garbage that your religion has practiced for centuries contrary to the word of God and call it Holy; and try to convince us that the Apostles didn't believe what they wrote, go for it...But I will and do recognize it for the garbage it is...
