What does scripture really say about infant baptism? In this video, we’ll discuss how infant baptism is explicitly taught in scripture and unpack common misconceptions. Did you know baptism replaces circumcision from the Old Testament, making it a covenantal act for entire households, including children? From Paul baptizing the house of Lydia to Peter baptizing Cornelius' household, the Bible makes no mention of limiting baptism to adults.

We’ll explore how traditions in Roman Catholicism and Christianity align with these biblical teachings, showing that infant baptism isn’t just tradition—it’s scripture-backed. Is baptism truly efficacious? Does it save, as Saint Peter claims? Let’s dive into these questions together. Whether you're Catholic, Christian, or just curious about the truth hidden in scripture, this short response breaks it all down clearly. Join us as we challenge the belief that baptism is only for adults and highlight why infant baptism makes theological sense.
