Do you believe in infant baptism conferring salvation upon an unbelieving infant?
Billy Graham did.
The word ‘salvation’ should be ‘protection’ until salvation. Babies are covered until age of accountability, then make their own decision to accept Christ, as Savior That baptism is a covering of God’s protection, until that time.
I suppose you can site that......
And no, I don't but I don't see what you contention has to do with the topic of the thread except to stir up controversy and strife.

How do YOU determine that an infant is unbelieving? Sounds like we have a god in our midst.
Aside from that obvious question, I have to tell you that I feel quite bad for you if that is the question you felt compelled to ask just after the passing of this awesome man who led so many to Christ.
Interesting story behind that. The early princes of the church practiced adult baptism, and believed the unbaptised would not go to heaven. This was a problem for children, so they went for infant baptism.
However, sinning while in a state of grace, ie, baptised, was such a mortal sin, they retreated to adult baptism again. The plan was to live a life of less mortal sin and then get baptised as late as possible. The problem then arose of an unbaptised prince falling off his horse alone, getting killed, and not going to heaven. So it was back to infant baptism.
The fudge factor added was a means to ‘work off’ sins committed in a state of grace before being held to the final judgement. This was the birth of Purgatory.
And that’s the name of that tune.
He DID?
Got any proof?
