Fred's Myth

Nonhyphenated American
Mark 16:16... Jesus said "He that believes and his baptized shall be saved.".. An infant does not have the ability to believe
Acts 2:38 ,, Peter said, Repent and be baptized for the remission of your sins.. An infant has nothing to repent of (even if it understood what that was) and no sin that needs to be remitted.
Luke concerning Pauls conversion... Arise and be baptized and wash away your sins... Acts 22:16..An infant has no sins to be washed away.
Scripture, that which is inspired by God, makes the claim that it is all sufficient. That is the only standard one can appeal to for salvation and to know what pleases God. You obviously think otherwise.
Catholic dogma, traditions and ordinances of men written by uninspired men, are of no interest to me except to use the Bible to prove it's teachings are corrupt to help folks get out of it.
One of the passages I would use that recognizes the all sufficiency of scripture is 2 Timothy 3:16-17
  • Romans 3:28: “We hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law.”
  • Romans 5:1: “Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God.”
  • Romans 4:5: “To the one who does not work but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness.”
  • John 3:16: “God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”
  • Acts 13:38–39: “Through this man forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, and by him everyone who believes is freed [justified] from everything from which you could not be freed [justified] by the law of Moses.”
You were buried with him and raised with him in baptism through faith. The burial with Christ in the water and the rising with Christ out of the water, are not what unites you to Christ — that is, the going under the water, the coming up out of the water. That’s not what unites you to Christ. It is through faith that you are decisively united to Christ. The water is symbolic of the cleansing of your soul.

So, you didn't address it, but the infant baptism is still a go?
Nor did you address the Bible is all sufficient.
  • That’s not what unites you to Christ.
Paul disagrees with you.
Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?4We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.For if we have been UNITED with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be UNITED with him in a resurrection like his.We know that our old selfs was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. Rom. 6: 3-6

Gotta roll.. kids are here. Will address your comment later this evening
