There is one main argument against paedobaptism (infant baptism). And that is this: You don't have to do it. Nothing in Scripture mandates it, and there's not one example of it. Everyone must repent and be baptized. No one must baptize their children who have yet to repent.

Tell that to Moses who was threatened with death for not giving his child the sign of the Covenant. Baptism means something to God

Are you suggesting my children may go to hell simply because I've not baptized them?

I just asked if you were suggesting that. I don't understanding what you're inferring. What are you saying?

I am saying that if Moses was threatened with death for not giving his child the shadow of the sign of the Covenant, how much more so Baptism, the actual sign?

Okay, so -- be gracious with me -- Are you saying my children could die because they're not baptized, since "how much more so" they should receive baptism?

As I've shared in the comments, baptism is not circumcision. True circumcision is of the heart, not of the letter (Romans 2:29). "The purpose [of the sign of circumcision as a seal] was to make [Abraham] the father of all who believe without being circumcised" (Rom. 4:11).

"True circumcision is of the heart..." - True, yet God commanded the visiblesign be given. Also true is "true baptism is of the heart/spirit" - yet God commanded the visible sign.
