From paragraph 1 of the article, "make disciples . . .baptizing them (disciples who are under instruction of a personal master teacher, not merely converts or infants who cannot even be held accountable) . . . and teaching them to keep watchfully secure without any change whatsoever I have commanded." That's part of the meaning of this ordinance, and is the method by which Jesus has always intended to build His ekklesia.

Just a reminder of what the passage does say, not what it doesn't say.

Did you forget that there are parents and godparents who help the infant grow in their faith?
