Infants are Baptized at the request of parents (who are responsible for all decisions affecting their well being). Parents are responsible to baptize their babies. If they knowingly do not do so, they break God’s covenant in a very serious matter.

Which covenant is that ?

All seven covenants in the Bible deal with Israel, not infants

Original sin is a reality from which each and every human person desperately needs to be freed. Biblically speaking, Romans 5:12 is remarkably clear on this point:

Infant baptism frees a human from original sin?

I guess the writers of the NT forgot to make that point in all their writing. The blood of Christ actually does that. Just a suggestion but reading Romans Chapter 5 in context might clarify your misunderstanding of Romans 5:12 which has nothing to do with infant baptism.

I really want to weigh in on this baptism issue, but I have a bad feeling that I’d derail the thread if I did, and a little worried that I’d get lumped in with believing the same thing as Roman Catholics, even though I very much don’t.
