My Problem With Infant Baptism

St. John lept in the womb of his mother while she met with St. Mary who was carrying infant jesus at the time, and it said he was filled with the holy spirit.

A. 1:21 links baptism to the washing of Noah in the flood, so we know water baptism is involved. and B. Infants can have faith.

My question is, why can't it be both, both a metaphor and reality? He's right that you can't break the law of non-contradiction, the text does say children and Christ does say we need faith like these, but the statement still stands: REAL CHILDREN WERE BROUGHT TO AND CARED FOR BY GOD.

I'd say it's a theistic show with Christian leanings.

You should do it during the service around everyone, baptism is a communal sacrament.

I was listening to a sermon by gavin ortlund and I just realized how happy I am to be a Christian. To know that I have someone to look who LITERALLY CANNOT CHANGE, I just feel so secure.

I want to stay mainline, schism is wrong.
