Nowhere does the Bible teach that infants should be baptized nor are there any Biblical examples of such. In fact baptizing such infants is contrary to the spirit of what is written.  For example it is written in 1Peter 3:21 that baptism involves a pledge of a good conscience toward God. But babies make no such pledge.

There are places in the book of Acts where whole households were baptized. But nowhere in such places does it indicate that unbelieving infants were baptized. Rather whole households come to faith in Christ and are then baptized. Acts 18:8  Crispus, the synagogue ruler, and his entire household believed in the Lord; and many of the Corinthians who heard him believed and were baptized.

Similarly, when we see people baptized in the Bible it always followed their repentance or belief.  Therefore, if a person has not repented, then their baptism confirms nothing and is invalid. This is what John the Baptist was apparently referring to when a crowd of unrepentant persons came to him seeking baptism, in Matt. 3. He refused them baptism, stating that they first must, "bring forth fruit in keeping with repentance."

we see in [b]Acts 19:1-7 Paul baptizing 12 men who had previously been baptized. some believe that believe that re-baptism is necessary at times, since infant baptism, as practiced, is more similar to the dedication of a child to God than it is of baptism. Infant dedication is good and scriptural (Samuel, for instance, was dedicated to God and it really worked). [/b]  infant dedication is different from BAPTISING..

A baby or a very young child cannot be baptized according to God’s Word, as we read, Acts 8:36,37-WHAT DOTH HINDER (or prevents) ME TO BE BAPTIZED? Philip had preached unto him Jesus and it appears also about baptism. The eunuch wanted to be baptized, but Philip refused unless one condition was met. Look at Philip’s reply. AND PHILIP SAID, IF THOU BELIEVEST WITH ALL THINE HEART, THOU MAYEST. The eunuch then said in verse 37-I BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD.

    A baby cannot repent. A baby cannot believe. A baby is not to be baptized. Baby baptism means nothing. It is a deception created by the adversary.  It nurtures a false assurance as one grows up that they are going to heaven.
