But I don't understand reformed Baptists insisting on adult baptism when they correctly believe their salvation by God predates their public declaration of faith and that God's election of them is the very reason for their faith in the first place.

We see it as an act of obedience, just as any other ordinance, so it is not required for salvation, but the doing of it and publicly brings great joy, to which I have previously attested. I see it as a great gift that the Lord graciously let me participate in.

Amen.

You have said it so much better than I did.

It’s obedience and a commandment of God’s, to believe AND be baptized.
