Because they claim it does have power to save an unbeliever, they claim it is necessary, and they claim it has some kind of power. That is a heresy. No one who is not saved is baptized. It is especially heretical to baptize an unbelieving infant and claim said infant is now engrafted into God by the work of the sewer company!!!!

Get with the program!!!!!! It's a hersey!!!!! It comes straight from Rome!!!!

power to save an unbeliever

No one has said that.

I will take the liberty of speaking for OP...he can correct me if I'm wrong.

They believe that the child must accept Christ for himself/herself once they come to an accountable/confirmable age.

The point of baptism of children is not salvation. It is initiation into they Church as a "probationer" under the guidance of parents. In other words, the children of believers truly are part of the church and truly do have God paying special attention to them during their years of innocence.
