BUT INFANT baptism is not biblical. It is ineffective because the infant has made no choice.


But only adult baptism does not make it effective either? So what does?

As I have posted here, what baptism are we talking about?

It is not a simple easy question. What does God say on the matter?

Water baptism is a sign to the world. Does it matter when or that it happens and then sometime the rest of it happens. Some churches view this as two stages, infant baptism and then confession of faith. But even those two do not make salvation complete but ARE NECCESSARY.

Now what is the IMPORTANT AND NECESSARY ELEMENT OF SALVATION? What does God say on the matter? I will give you a hint if needed but encourage all to do their own research.

There does not appear to be a proper order, that is a construct of our small human minds. But it is important that all elements are there from God’s perspective.

Find for me in the bible, one instance where someone was baptized who had not professed belief that Jesus was the Messiah.
