Well, assuming you were baptized as an infant, that would contradict scripture which shows us that salvation comes through confession and repentance. As an infant, you didn't confess or repent anything. You just laid there as someone splashed water on you. That ceremony was probably very nice, but it did nothing to save you. Okay, I get it now. It's "my way or the highway" right?
You "born againers" think there is only one way to do things in the eyes of God.
You, and the multitudes like you, insult and denigrate the rites and traditions that people like me grew up with.
Please keep your Bible verses. You use them to cover the disdain you feel for me.

No, not my way or the highway, but Jesus's way or no way. I don't want you to do anything I say UNLESS you find it supported by Scripture. Research what I say verses what Scripture says. If I'm wrong, fine. But if Scripture says something and you don't do it or ignore it, that's going to be on you to explain to God after you die.

Insult or place in the correct prospective according to the Scriptures? Look, traditions are fine...in their proper place. I've participated in a number of traditions myself. The difference seems to be on what you think these traditions or ceremonies are actually doing.
If the Bible said that a certain ceremonie saved a person, then I will proclaim it. However, it's important to know exactly what salvation is and what it isn't. If I don't proclaim what I know to be true, then that would be as evil as if a person knew a bridge was out, but didn't tell anyone about it.

The Bible is for all, but if you wish to ignore it, you do so at your own peril. I don't have any "disdain" for you. I only have a sincere wish that all would know the saving power of Jesus. When I see people who have a view that in contradiction to the Word of God, I bring it up. If you think the Word or God is wrong or my understanding of it is wrong, you should post where it or I are wrong and why.
