Teach, make a disciple of, make a pupil, instruct, no infants. Want to try again? Matt. 28:19

Why are you adding words to Scripture that were NEVER there?

Matthew 28:19 in an accurate Bible says...

19 Going therefore, teach ye all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.-Douay-Rheims

Which says NOTHING about not baptizing infants

Sorry, that's not even a good effort. One becomes a disciple BEFORE baptism not after. Seethe order of events?

“Disciple” is the right word at Matt. 28:19.

” maqhteuw
matheteuo
math-ayt-yoo’-o
from maqhthV - mathetes 3101; intransitively, to become a pupil; transitively, to disciple, i.e. enrol as scholar:—be disciple, instruct, teach.”

Infants are not enrolled as scholars, pupils, etc. and so are NOT subjects for baptism. Disciple first, baptize second.

Try again?
