I find it hard to understand how an infant could be made s disciple and thus qualify for baptism.

It’s not hard to figure if you think that baptism is what saves you.

If baptism is the mode or salvation, then faith isn’t important, and you can’t ex-communicate yourself by works, since you’ve been sprinkled or dipped.

Funny, isn’t it? When it comes to communion, the eucharist is only good as long as it’s in your body. But baptism is forever.

And what you eat is metabolized by your body and becomes part of it while water just gets you wet until it dries and /or is washed off.

That must mean that baptism is more powerful than Jesus since it’s more permanent.
