Infant baptism is not in the New Testament.
Believer’s baptism is in the New Testament.
Sola scriptura is not in the New Testament.
It is, as you’ve been shown countless times.
Hence Anabaptists like the Amish, Hutterites and Mennonites broke away.
“Traditional” (Biblical) baptism is by immersion. (The root word is translated “to immerse”.)
No infant baptism in Scripture.
What is the best resource for perusing the old baptismal rite in its entirety? By that I mean hatd copy in book form.
Also, I assume the old rite has a history of its own. If there is a book or article treating of that history I would like to know of it.
The movement from outside the sanctuary and in to the font is a salutary practice. Likewise the understanding that the infant child is by nature an enemy and alien to the Faith.
We use Dr. Luther’s rite in my parish, which begins with words of exorcism. We believe, teach, and confess that infants who are baptized in our midst are encountering the Apostolic ministry as confessed by St. Peter.
I am not familiar with the history of Lutheran baptismal practices, but I am too much aware of how, over the past century, they have swallowed general Protestant theology.
Show me as many lies as you like. You’re good at that.
I’m not falling for them.
No sola scriptura in scripture. Only in Luther’s demented head.
Since you understand not even the very first thing about Catholicism, why not just shut up and run your silly head in a Protestant thread?
Or you can just continue blurting - and looking like an insufferable ass.
Protestants aren’t in the Bible.
In fact “everything that must be practiced and believed must be in the Bible” isn’t in the Bible.
If you knew your Bible you would know where it says that not all of his teachings and actions are written down, and to hold fast to the traditions you have been taught. Whole households we’re baptized and circumcision, which happened to all Jewish infants, was replaced by baptism.

Don’t know a lot about Luther; I’m not a Protestant.
I think you mean “the opposite of sola scriptura”.
As a Protestant, I just am bewildered by the enormous, and I mean HUGE, complexity of the Roman Catholic sect; it is nothing like the simple faith of believers in the New Testament. How can this be justified? I recognize that Catholics do not believe in the limitations of Scripture, but surely, somewhere, Catholics must give pause to the mounds of legalism and sacerdotalism that just dwarfs the faith I read about in Acts, Paul’s epistles, and the remainder of the New Testament.
Ebb, you still wearing a scapular??

By the way, you misspelled “Scripture.”
Nope
