I doubt that new born babies are running amok trying to destroy the world...like kittens are.

If you get to heaven, be sure to tell David that was your feedback to his inspired Word...then you can tell God next)

Everything you posted was meant to show overall concepts, and not specific detailed instructions.

(Yeah, like the "overall concept" of universal sin generationally handed down...otherwise what we have is the Stormprepper household learning sin from Mr. & Mrs. Stormprepper)

Colofornian demonstrates why a living prophet who is in communication with God is necessary. Living Prophets like what Rev 11 refers to.

SP, even Joseph Smith taught these concepts occasionally if you'd but pay attention to them:

"And the whole world lieth in sin, and groaneth under darkness and under the bondage of sin...that the whole world groaneth under sin and darkness even now." (D&C 84:49, 53)

In D&C 29:41, Smith admitted that the Garden of Eden sins led to spiritual death.

So what can come spiritually alive from that which is spiritually dead?

This train is off the rails. I thought it was a discussion on the Sacrament of Baptism as found in the Bible?

Everything comes down to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Why is that?

Could there be a deep seated need for continuing revelation to clarify the confusion?

It's called "The Atonement of Jesus Christ". Because of the Atonement, little children were never spiritually dead. They are alive in Christ.

Moroni 8:
7 For immediately after I had learned these things of you I inquired of the Lord concerning the matter. And the word of the Lord came to me by the power of the Holy Ghost, saying:

8 Listen to the words of Christ, your Redeemer, your Lord and your God. Behold, I came into the world not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance; the whole need no physician, but they that are sick; wherefore, little children are whole, for they are not capable of committing sin; wherefore the curse of Adam is taken from them in me, that it hath no power over them; and the law of circumcision is done away in me.

12 But little children are alive in Christ, even from the foundation of the world; if not so, God is a partial God, and also a changeable God, and a respecter to persons; for how many little children have died without baptism!

13 Wherefore, if little children could not be saved without baptism, these must have gone to an endless hell.

14 Behold I say unto you, that he that supposeth that little children need baptism is in the gall of bitterness and in the bonds of iniquity; for he hath neither faith, hope, nor charity; wherefore, should he be cut off while in the thought, he must go down to hell.

15 For awful is the wickedness to suppose that God saveth one child because of baptism, and the other must perish because he hath no baptism.

16 Wo be unto them that shall pervert the ways of the Lord after this manner, for they shall perish except they repent. Behold, I speak with boldness, having authority from God; and I fear not what man can do; for perfect love casteth out all fear.
