Robert the only flaw in the reasoning of all who believe are baptized into Christ, but there are those
who believe and do not get baptized. Ja.2:19 the demons. My denominational friends believe
but are not baptized. Cornelius believed and was not baptized. A person must first believe then
get baptized or be mis-led by false teachers.

My understanding is that the word PISTOS is not always interpreted believe, it can be interpreted
trustworthy, and that is my submission concerning children. Anyone can baptize their children
so many do so at a very early age because many are obeying the parents wishes. What 13 yr old
rattles off his sinful nature and tells you what is dying in the waters of baptism and what changes
are his friends going to see? But we still baptize children don't we.

Who do you see as the stronger more committed Christians, those who are raised in the church or
those who converted latter in life. Not saying all, just where do you see the trend going. How about
third generation Christians?
