has taught that the sacrament of Baptism is the Christian rebirth. This was, of course believed by ALL Christians for 1,600 years

Still pushing Catholicism starting at year zero huh?

There were no Catholics for several hundred years, except for ex post facto Catholics and popes.

Sprinkling babies with water does not erase the original sin.

God does protect children though.

Those who believe they are saved and belong to the Kingdom of God from infant "baptism" will be quite surprised unless they become Christians.

That is one of the reasons that we are preaching God's Word involving salvation to the lost right here at FR.

Surprised, is a word, that doesn't do justice to the meaning. What we need, is a word, that describes a shock to the system, that goes infinitely beyond the meaning, of just being surprised.
