I have absolutely no problem with infant baptism
so long as their first words are: “I repent of my sins and trust in Jesus Christ alone.”

I don't have a problem with adult baptism as long as we understand it is the new covenant manifestation of circumcision, which was also administered to infants, and is now available to females.

Baptism is the sign of the New Covenant; it is not for unbelievers according to scripture. Luke 22:20 "And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood."

You're mixing baptism and the Lord's Supper. Those are two completely separate sacraments.

This verse clearly illustrates WHO the new covenant is for and with, 'you' (the elect). Therfore it would be in error to administer the sign of that covenant to those who aren't part of it.

You glossed over something that everyone making this argument glosses over; you didn't highlight 'repent and'. You have posted the verse that EXACTLY illustrates Nate's point. How can infants repent? Also, does 'children' mean 'baby' or 'offspring'? Only one is consistent.

Baptism is an outward sign of the circumcision of the heart. Colossians 2:11-12 clearly state that we are raised by faith, and baptism is simply a way we display that. Baptism does not save, faith in Christ does.pic.twitter.com/Mv2NDfbHgA
