I did not miss the end of that verse. It is that verse which supports the claim of the Church and the tradition of the Apostles. ALL HID HOUSE. Period. Nothing else, no exclusions for age.

All of the responses here just ignore the substance of the practice, the customs of the Jewish people and the continuity between the Old Testament and the New.

Everyone certainly has a right to disagree but just as certainly no authority to tell me that I do not understand Scripture or that I ignore or reject it because I reject as shallow and unsubstantial their opinion on the subject.

There's the exclusion again, right here...

(Acts 16:32-34)“And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway. And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.

And here the exclusion again...

Act 8:36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? Act 8:37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

If you believe with all your heart, you may be baptized...Babies can not believe with all their heart...It's cut and dried...No babies...
