To: one Lord one faith one baptism

“Now, I know Church history is not the strong suit of many here, but do some research and point out to me what major controversy is recorded in the first, second or third centuries in the Church to oppose infant baptism.”

There are no infant baptisms recorded in the New Testament Scriptures.

Infant baptism is not taught by any Apostle or by Christ.

There are no sources before 100 ad that teach or record infant baptism - Christian, nor secular.

There is no art before 100 ad that portrays infant baptism.

The Bible does not teach anywhere that infants are not to be baptized.

It does say whole families were baptized. Did the Apostles baptize infants? The answer is absolutely yes. How do we know? The Church witnessed them do it and followed their practice for close to 2,000 years now.

I can only feel sorry for those who think no one understood baptism before the 16th century.
