Since baptism does the following:
Cleanses you from iniquity, gives you a heart of flesh rather that of stone. Ezekiel 36:25-33
Makes you a disciple of Jesus. Matthew 28:19 (with teaching)
Forgives your sins. Acts 2:38 (With repentance)
Gives you the Holy Spirit. John 3:5, Acts 2:38.
Joins you with the death and resurrection of Jesus. Romans 6:2-5, Colossians 2:12.
Washes the Church and makes her holy. Ephesians 5:25-26
Clothes you in Christ. Galatians 3:27.
Regenerates you. Titus 3:5.
Saves you. 1 Peter 3:21
Why WOULDN’T you baptize an infant? They need all of the above just as much as adults do!
25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, 26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,
HMMMmmm... doesn't sound at ALL like baptism to me!
I think this has been answered adequately by now.
They need all of the above just as much as adults do!
You might think infants 'need' a lot of things; but they are in no way capable of using them until they are older.
