Salvation Paul baptized several households that surely included infants.

I underlined the TWO assumption you are making. First that there were any infants. Second that the infants were baptized.

Of-course what can only be wished for are asserted as facts, since Scripture is am abused servant which is compelled to service the cultic Catholic devotee in his/her endeavour to present their elitist church as Biblical to Bible Christians. Thus in essence taking the name of the Lord in vain, and denying true faith. Oh the damnation that await such.

The Catholics say, "Those seven churches in Revelation are all Catholic."

The Bible Christian says, "Houston; Rome has a problem."

Jesus gave the command to baptize: “...make disciples of all the nations baptizing them...” (Matt. 28:19). This Great Commission answers the question, who is to be baptized. Those who reject Infant Baptism refer to the passage: “He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved.” This passage does not answer the question, who is to be baptized, but rather who will be saved. In His Baptismal command Jesus does not mention the age of those who are to be baptized. For this reason it is not right to deny Baptism to children. Those who deny Baptism to infants make a decisive mistake, when in addition to the general Baptismal command, they seek special commands for Infant Baptism. Because there is a general command that applies to everyone, the rejectors of Infant Baptism should find a passage that forbids the baptizing of infants. The Bible, however, nowhere forbids Infant Baptism. Those who forbid it act like a steward of an estate, who gets a command from the owner to seed all the land. But because the owner did not specifically tell the steward to seed some small fertile strips of the land, he did not seed them.
