As if the entire case against padeo isn’t an argument from silence

But the Bible never says specifically to do it! Don’t mind those households, covenant theology, Acts 2, etc!!

Now you’re just hearing what you want to hear. Excluding children from the covenant community over and against all available evidence is an argument from silence. Yes. “It doesn’t explicity say baptize this baby, so you can’t.”

I think you're assuming that we hold your same presuppositions (New Covenant not really new, circumcision = baptism, etc.) as yourself? We don't, as ours are different.

Haha. I get it. Yes, the NC “not really being new” is basically a line out of Strawbridge’s book, and I’d more or less agree with that chapter (if that’s what’s you’re referring to). He has his own issues, but I don’t think that was one of his chapters. (1

As for circumcision “equaling” baptism...I wouldn’t use that wording. Paul is clear, though that circumsision is the OT sign of the covt and baptism is the new covt sign. So, yes, there is continuity.
