I would have stated the Tulip and made comparisons if you would have answered. You never answered as usual so there was no reason.Although you are not stating the 5 points of Calvinism, I would say I do hold to the 3 tenets that you describe.
What I definitely don’t hold to is the first of the Calvinist essentials, one that you don’t mention, that being the Total Depravity of man.
This disqualifies me from the Calvinist system of theology or theory.
I know some staunch 5 point Calvinists.
Infant baptism isn't as much Calvinist as it is Catholic and Lutheran.I would have stated the Tulip and made comparisons if you would have answered. You never answered as usual so there was no reason.
I was going to say you had at least 3 from your comments. If someone holds one letter of the Tulip, I call them a Calvinist because they hold a doctrine that came from a man and not found in scripture. You don't have to be 5 of 5 for me.
If someone only believed death of non-elect infants equals infant damnation, but rejected the other four, this false doctrine came from Calvin. The average for the Calvinist today is 3.

I'm not asking you.Verses are not needed.
The baptism of the Holy Spirit is a spiritual baptism.
That is your theory.A candidate for New Testament baptism must believe, repent, and confess Christ.
An infant cannot believe, has no sin to repent of, and gaga googoo is not confession.
