if you want to believe infant baptisms saves people go ahead, but to say a person can give salvation to another is ridiculous, the apostles were to teach all nations and yes baptizing them- scripturally by immersion at an age of understanding after they called on Jesus to save them.

Acts 2:41-Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
salvation always comes before baptism, baptism is a public testimony of what has taken place in a persons heart.

Might want to reread the order in that acts passage. Their addition to the numbers of believers occurred after they had been baptized. Because they had to do both things be baptized and convert. Peter himself did answer them before with, "Repent and be baptized" Acts 2:38

It wasn't an "or" condition. And it wasn't a "then" condition either. Both were necessary.

Jesus baptized the entire house of Cornelius. Read the Acts of the Apostles. Did it ever occur to you there were children in his house?
