the baptismal waterboarding is rather entertaining.

Very sad! Infant Baptism has no meaning for them. If anyone is being baptized they must be able to acknowledge their faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

Amen to that!

So Lydia and her whole household were wrong? On the other hand, there is no scripture stating they had to be old enough to acknowledge anything.

Acts 8:37

Romans 10:9


also Acts 8:38 states they both went down "into" the water. Acts 8:39 and when they both came up out of the water.

Doesn't say anything about acknowledging anything. It says he wanted to get baptized and did.

"And he answered and said I believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God"

Seems to me he acknowledged something, no?

Acts 8:37 Philip said to him if thou believest with all thine heart thou mayest (speaking of the eunuch asking to being Baptized)

Philip asked him that after preaching the gospel of Jesus earlier in Acts, 8:35

He has to acknowledge something before being allowed to be baptized.

Acts 8:36 the eunuch asked what doth hinder me to be baptized, He has to acknowledge that he believes after hearing the scripture of Jesus, that Jesus is the son of God.

[RAMCLAP]

I'm more than willing to allow you your point. Still, there are no scriptures about "old enough".

[Red-Osier]

So Lydia and her whole household were wrong?

Speaking of Lydia,
Acts 16:14 she attended unto the things that were spoken of Paul.

Speaking of Paul,
Acts 9:20 and straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, That he was the son of God.

Fair enough,

If an infant ever speaks a coherent sentence let me know first

Also on a side note: I've seen members bash each other here and that's not what it's about, I don't like that.
Just friendly scripture reading to one another is what I like.

[RAMCLAP]

No prob. Though I don't know what infants have to do with this. I never mentioned them.

True,
Old enough to acknowledge Christ is the son of God and hear the scripture, and understand it is what I was implying.

Ok.

13 Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.

14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

15 And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.
