not trying to change the subject. my point was these ECF held to the Catholic Faith, including believing in Sacred Tradition, and i think it is ironic that you would try to appeal to someone, who, were you alive in the 2nd century, you would not, could not worship with since you reject the Real Presence in the Eucharist.
St Irenaeus practiced and believed in infant baptism. if he really held to sola scriptura and not the Apostolic Tradition, in what verse did he find the command to baptize infants?
I’m sure good ol’ Irenaeus will be more than happy to worship God with me in Heaven. :o)
