Where did the council of Trent get this non-biblical knowledge??? It's apparent to me they made it up to support their notion that babies must be baptized...
It's a matter of having faith in the men attending your council at Trent as opposed to faith in the truth of the scripture...
God says you must repent before being baptized...That disqualifies any baby baptizing...
The scriptures say:
“Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” (St. John 3.5) and “Know you not that all we, who are baptized in Christ Jesus, are baptized in his death? For we are buried together with him by baptism into death; that as Christ is risen from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also may walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection.” (Romans 6.3-5)
The first statement of Christ is absolute and admits of no exceptions. The second of St. Paul is similarly universal and describes the effects of Baptism.
That Baptism infuses grace and virtues follows from “he saved us, by the laver of regeneration, and renovation of the Holy Ghost; Whom he hath poured forth upon us abundantly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour: That, being justified by his grace, we may be heirs, according to hope of life everlasting.” (Titus 3.5-7) Also: “be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins: and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost” (Acts 2.38)
Little children do not need to repent before baptism, because they have no personal sins to repent of, only original sin, and Christ has not limited his Gospel only to adults, but emphatically extends it even to babes in arms: “Then were little children presented to him, that he should impose hands upon them and pray. And the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said to them: Suffer the little children, and forbid them not to come to me: for the kingdom of heaven is for such.” (St. Matthew 19.13-14)
