Whole families never baptized? Hmm, that would be news to the jailer and his family in Acts 16:33.
Christian theology is based on revelation and that revelation came from the Apostles. Christians are commanded to hold firm to this Apostolic Tradition, whether received by letter or word of mouth. The Church has followed the Apostolic Tradition of baptizing infants.
The Church received the commission to teach and baptize from Jesus Christ............it can’t force anyone to listen.
“Whole families never baptized? Hmm, that would be news to the jailer and his family in Acts 16:33.”
It would not, since the passage does not say “family”, nor “infant”, nor “child”. It literally says, “he and his” with no following word.
“Christian theology is based on revelation and that revelation came from the Apostles.”
The inspired parts are clearly written in Scripture.
“Christians are commanded to hold firm to this Apostolic Tradition, whether received by letter or word of mouth.”
We do not know what those traditions were. I’ve requested the list numerous times here. I you have the official list of Pauline traditions he referred to, please, for the sake of all Christians, post it here. But of course, there is not official list. Nor can one be produced in an unbroken chain from Paul.
“The Church has followed the Apostolic Tradition of baptizing infants.”
Than you should be easily able to produce one instance of an infant being baptized by an Apostle. Please show us for the sake of all. But there are none in Scripture. Nor are there any in Christian writings, secular writings, nor art before 100 ad.
“The Church received the commission to teach and baptize from Jesus Christ............it can’t force anyone to listen.”
Baptism is always right for a person who comes to saving faith in Christ, as an act of obedience and testimony to others.
