To: Salvation
Ironically today, it is the Baptists and their evangelical offshoots that are most opposed to the practice.

Not "ironical" at all! When little babies and small children can consciously acknowledge their sinfulness and accept and believe in Jesus Christ as their Savior, then I'll agree baptism is appropriate for them. Believe AND be baptized - Scripture says.

So your "salvation" depends on what YOU do for God in "accepting" and "believing" rather than what God did--and does--for us?

No thank you.
