Is it not a reasonable inference that "all his" may very well include small children?
Acts 2:38-39: And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.”
For the promise is for your children too. And if you must first be saved before being baptised, as Protestants claim, what profits you baptism in the least? The work of salvation is already done.
PS Where does it say *adults only*?
It doesn't...No one said it did...But what it does say is:
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved
Can babies believe on the Lord??? No they can't...
Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ
Can babies repent??? Of course not...You can not pick out the words only that fit your theology...Your theology has to fit the words...All of them...

EXACTLY...
Baptism is for two things...The first one is that it gets you wet...The second one is a public testimony that you Believed/Repented in Jesus Christ...
