Baptizing infants is not in the Bible.

Show me a wet baby.

Seriously? I don’t know if my sins are forgiven? I am supposed to depend on a man to determine if they are? I think not. I have a relationship with the Lord and I know I am forgiven. You go ahead and do the ceremonial acts that make you believe. I don’t need that. I have the Lord’s direct line and He listens and forgives me. I have faith in Him over any man.

No wet babies there Salvation!

Not even the echoing cry of a wet baby.

Just adults, who can hear, believe, learn and follow the Savior in a public display of baptism.

We must be fully open and honest with everyone.

Confessing to Yehova does little, since he already knows of our sins.

Act 16:31-34 (ESV)

31 And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household."

32 And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.

33 And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their wounds; and he was baptized at once, he and all his family.

34 Then he brought them up into his house and set food before them. And he rejoiced along with his entire household that he had believed in God.

Can you definitively declare that none of his family was a child that could not make a profession of faith at the baptism?

Not the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

That is a 4th century corruption of the word.

In the name of Yeshua!

There is no other name by which we can be saved.

They were not told to go to infants, and it is not a ceremony. Its a real event between two adults.

You are making an assumption that can’t be proven.

Thank you for your concern. I will continue with my relationship with the Lord. He knows my heart and saved my soul.

As are you. I at least have an inference. Please show me a NT baby dedication.

Already gave you one. Christ.

But then I’m making no spiritual claims for dedications.

Only a public dedication to ask for God’s grace and the prayers of the community.

No, Jesus was to fulfill the OT. That is not the NT church.

“Believing in” means living as he lived.

That is how one’s house can be saved. It is a process that happens over time, as you demonstrate your belief through your own life. Its called your “Testimony.”

Hey you wanted a NT reference of a baby dedication.

But then I didn’t say dedications were commanded or taught. Nor do they pervert a commanded practice.

In other words, bringing the baby into the community of faith.

Do the people around you know your heart?

How else could you possibly lead them to the narrow path, but by walking it yourself.
