If you say Because Jesus said ' Let the liittle children come to me & do not hinder them for the kingdom of God belong to such as these' and so infant should be baptised. Now answer me; Did Jesus baptize any of those children that came to him? Did he on any occation baptized any infant because people were giving birth and children abound so why didnt he? Did  the people bring infant to John the baptist for baptism? Did Jesus disciple/followers did infant baptism? If you cant answer yes to these so tell me from where did you now imbibe the culture of infant baptism ?

Jesus said to his followers 'Go and make disciples of people of all nations baptizing them Mathew 28;19 meaning that they need to teach people, and people need knoledge and faith in the word to get baptized. what has an infant learn about God and Christ and how can they exercise faith in God when they knows nothing, they are just innocent and are yet to recognize betweent wrong and right. Knowledge and faith is needed for bap and this means study of bible. Act 18; 18, the bible tells us that when some people in the ancient city of corinth heard the christain message, they began to believ and be baptized so how does infant fit for baptism in this regard?

Now to the meaning of baptism. The word 'Baptism' comes from a greek term meaning 'Dip' Christian baptism therefore means being fully dipped or Immersed, as in contrast to sprinkling of water which does not fulfll the true symbol of baptism.  Baptism is not a mere bath. It is symbol very important to God. Going Beneath the water indicates that you are dead to your former life course. Being raised up out of water indicates you are now alive to do the will of God. So what former life has anfant led to be buried in water? Non, so not qaulified.

Jesus set an example by being baptized in water. He did not sprinkle water or pour water just on his head. Mathew 3;16. The bible says that they went on spreading the message and those who put faith and repented were baptized and this took place in the river. Infant were never  taken to the river for baptism except adults even thou there is no age indicated but humans who were able to listen, learn put faith and distinguish between right and wrong, an so infants are not.
