SHOULD INFANT BE
BAPTISED?
Does the Bible teach infant baptism? Is there a command to baptize infants? NO! Are there example of it? No. can one necessary infer that such was observed? No! Search your Bible through. you will be amazed that it's completely silent on infant baptism.
Some attempt to prove infant baptism by Matthew 19:14. Jesus said, "suffer the little children and forbid them not to come unto me......" If this mentioned infant baptism it might help.
Others turn to example of family conversions
They assume there must have been babies baptized, Acts 10:34- 43; 16:14-15; 16:29-34. In none of this is there mentioned of children. It is presumption to teach babies were baptized when the Bible does not say so.
PREREQUISITE FOR BAPTISM
Before one can be baptized properly he must:
1. Be taught the gospel Matthew 28:18-19.
2. Believe Mark 16:16
3. Repent from his sin Acts 17:30
4. Confess his Faith Matthew 10:32
what infants can meet this requirement? He that's cannot meet them cannot be baptized.
WHAT BAPTISM FOR?
Be baptized and wash away thy sins," Acts 22:16. But sin is transgression of god's law, 1John 3:4 infants have not sinned, therefore they are not proper subject of baptism.
OBJECTIONS TO INFANT BAPTISM :
1. It is unscriptural, an addition to God's word.
2. It put a lie on the lip of all who say is thought in the Bible.
3. It makes parents misinform their children who ask, should I be baptized?
4. It plants a delusion in the minds of those baptized in infancy.
5. It causes many who were baptized as infant to live and die without truly obeying Christ command. As a tradition of Man, it makes void Christ's Law, matt15:6.
6. It is worthless to those who receive it, at best, and generally harmful.

NOTE:
Babies are supposed to be “Dedicated” and not be “baptized”
