What I’m saying here is that if you believe baptism to be salvific, only the person being baptized can make that decision. Infants cannot. You guys make up your own rules as you go along.

I understand that to be your opinion, and I point out to you that it was not the Early Church's understanding, since we see in Acts entire households being baptized based on the decision for Christ made by the adults.
