Where is the repentence in infant Baptism? Infant Baptism like baptism prior to being born again is on the wrong side of the cross.

Blessed, the Bible clearly states that whole families, including children were baptized. Infants are children. There is no stipulation anywhere in the Bible which states infants cannot be baptized. Your beliefs to the contrary are your choice, but they are not Biblical nor Traditional.

Baptism itself is being "born again" of water and Spirit, therefore any baptized Christian is "born again". Scripture is very clear on this. Anyone who attempts to separate the two as different experiences is in error.
