Again, so that you can hear it clearly: You are arguing a negative from silence. You say the bible denies baptism to infants, and you can provide no verse saying so.

Not one. Not the hint of one.

If there WERE one, you would post it.

So, by way of challenge, post the verse that says: “Do NOT baptize infants.” Feel free to use synonyms for infants. Feel free to use synonyms for do, not, and baptize.

In fact, feel free to post a verse that says: “Baptize ONLY adults.”

“You are arguing a negative from silence. You say the bible denies baptism to infants, and you can provide no verse saying so.”

No. I’ve never said the Bible denies it. It doesn’t need to deny it.

I’m denying your claim that baptism is a Christian sacrament for infants. It is not. Sacraments are instructed in Scripture. There is nothing in the Bible instructing infant baptism - at all. I’ve asked you to provide some Biblical evidence. You searched. You tried. You have provided none. Which is what I said you’d find.

If it is a sacrament for infants, it would be instructed. It is not.
We do have plenty of verses telling us who is to be baptized. You are ignoring them. Why?

Where are the answers to any question I asked you?
