jvette, what our friends do not seem to comprehend is hristians are commanded to keep the Apostolic tradition, which was communicated by either letter or word of mouth.
this is not an option, it is a command to the Church from the Apostle Paul.
that being the case, the Church practices infant baptism in obedience to the teaching received from the Apostles.
now the Church has a great advantage over those who reject it’s teaching - THE CHURCH WAS PRESENT TO HEAR AND OBSERVE WHAT THE APOSTLES TAUGHT AND PRACTICED. THOSE OUTSIDE OF IT WERE NOT THERE AND THEREFORE ARE LIMITED TO TAKING THE CATHOLIC SCRIPTURES AND UDERSTANDING THEM. OF COURSE WITHOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE UNSPIRITUAL MAN DOES NOT RECEIVE THE GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD, THEY ARE FOLLY TO HIM.

jvette, what our friends do not seem to comprehend is hristians [sic] are commanded to keep the Apostolic tradition, which was communicated by either letter or word of mouth.

What was communicated by letter is Scripture.

What was communicated by word of mouth is what? And how do you know?
