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.

Where is the repentence? Their is no salvation in baptism.To say all who have been baptised are born again is closer to universalism than Christianity.Christ indicated their will be many who call his name but that he will not know. Probably some of them will say but I was baptised as an infant.My parents were Christians so I must be.
