Aaaamen!Indeed, I think that believer's baptism is the only valid baptism, per Mark 16:16.
You must believe and be baptized so that you shall be saved.

That's funny - neither the Early Church NOR your Protestant Fathers believed this . . .Aaaamen!
Nevertheless, the Bible teaches it.That's funny - neither the Early Church NOR your Protestant Fathers believed this . . .
No, it doesn't.Nevertheless, the Bible teaches it.
Nope. The concept is based in solid exegesis.No, it doesn't.
Only a perverted interpretation of the Bible teaches it.
So, Christianity for over 1600 years, including your Protestant Fathers were ALL wrong?Nope.
Nor Jesus Himself?That's funny - neither the Early Church NOR your Protestant Fathers believed this . . .
LolIt doesn’t.
That’s as silly as asking , “When did an 8-day-old baby boy agree to have his foreskin hacked off so he can enter a Covenant with God.”
It was done TO the child by the faith of his parents – JUST like Baptism.
Peter said that the promise of for you AND YOUR CHILDREN (Acts 2:39).
They ALSO get to be baptized and receive the gift of the holy Spirit.
The Early Church – the SAME ones who testified that Infant Baptism was an APOSTOLIC practice – they also testified to the fact that babies were Baptized by the will of the PARENTS . . .
Hippolytus
Baptize first the children, and if they can speak for themselves let them do so. Otherwise, let their parents or other relatives speak for them (The Apostolic Tradition 21:16 [A.D.215]).
Origen
The Church received from the apostles the tradition of giving baptism even to infants. The apostles, to whom were committed the secrets of divine sacraments, knew there is in everyone innate strains of [original] sin, which must be washed away through water and the Spirit (Commentaries on Romans 5:9 [A.D. 248]).
Augustine
It is this one Spirit who makes it possible for an infant to be regenerated . . . when that infant is brought to baptism; and it is through this one Spirit that the infant so presented is reborn. (Letters 98:2 [A.D. 408]).
I gave you Scripture (Acts 2:39) - AND History.Lol
Anything but scripture.
How blatant
The Bible is the final authority on any issue; not the church.So, Christianity for over 1600 years, including your Protestant Fathers were ALL wrong?
Jesus lied when He said the Holy Spirit would guide His Church to ALL truth (John 16:12-15)??
What is the name in Matt 28:19?Correct.
Read Matt. 28:19 . . .
No you bombed me with commentary.I gave you Scripture (Acts 2:39) - AND History.
Simply rejecting it doesn't make your case . . .
Yep you know the bible great, now all you need to do is find Jesus and get to know Him, you dont want to be one where He says, " I never knew you". Bible cant save you no matter how much of it you can quote, even the devil is vastly superior at it, these forums are filled with his handywork.You skipped Acts again.
You are reading the saints mail.
Bad habit.
Wrong.The Bible is the final authority on any issue; not the church.
People in the church may be mistaken as concerning what they believe. Some may claim to be in the church when they are not really born again. The Bible stands as a beacon that is concrete and upright.
It is solid and firm; it stands as a standard of truth for all men.
While men can depart from biblical truths and teach false error that is not according to the truth.
No, it wasn't commentary - it was testimony from the Early Church.No you bombed me with commentary.
That won’t preach
He also didn't say, "Teach all nations, baptizing only adults . . ."What is the name in Matt 28:19?
Also, did it say teach all nations, baptizing infants...?
No, he said teachable persons.He also didn't say, "Teach all nations, baptizing only adults . . ."
That's YOUR perversion . . .
No it was fake commentary from ancient apostates.No, it wasn't commentary - it was testimony from the Early Church.
I ALSO gave you Scripture.
