Thanks. I think you explained it well.
I guess I was asking , what if the first baptism doesn’t “take”, in this case, being too young to know.
Your advice is greatly appreciated.
There is no "taking." The Holy Spirit does not work according to time or place, but when He wants to. Jews who were circumcised as babies didn't need to know the religion they were being inducted into. Those who belonged to God had a "second" circumcision--- that of the heart, which the physical circumcision was only a sign of. That conversion is not tied to the moment the physical act is completed. That conversion happens when the Holy Spirit moves on you, and that can be 50 years later.
You’re very welcome. Not to add to much to the conversation, but here is a quick breakdown of what the Bible teaches about baptism:
a. Baptism is for the remission of sins. (Acts 2:38; cf. Mark 1:4; Luke 3:3)
b. There is one baptism. (Ephesians 4:5)
c. We are buried with Christ in baptism. (Romans 6:4; Colossians 2:12)
d. Through faith, we are raised with Christ (Colossians 2:12; cf. Romans 6:4)
e. It (baptism) was administered to those who believed. (Mark 16:16; Acts 8:12; 18:8)
f. It was administered to those who received the word. (Acts 2:41)
g. It was administered to those who repented. (Acts 2:38)
h. Through baptism our sins are washed away. (Acts 22:16)
i. Through baptism we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:38)
j. We are baptized into Christ. (Romans 6:3; Galatians 3:27)
k. In baptism we “put on Christ”. (Galatians 3:27)
l. We are baptized into the death of Christ. (Romans 6:3)
m. We are baptized into the one body (the church). (I Corinthians 12:13 [vid. Colossians 1:18; Ephesians 1:22-23; 5:23])
n. We are baptized into death, so that we may walk in newness of life. (Romans 6:4)
o. Baptism saves, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. (I Peter 3:21; cf. Mark 16:16)
