Prerequisites Rule Out Infant Baptism

The Bible makes it clear there are some prerequisites to water baptism. First notice from the following passages that teaching/preaching to the candidate must come before baptism:· Matthew 28:19: Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them …· Mark 16:15-16: Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved …The point being that an infant cannot be taught first. Therefore he is not a scriptural candidate for water baptism.And regarding what the baptismal candidate himself must do, the following scriptures prove both belief and repentance must come before baptism:· Mark 16:16: He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved …· Acts 2:38: Repent and be baptized … for the remission of sins …An infant cannot believe and repent first. Thus he is not a scriptural candidate for water baptism.See how simple Bible facts rule out infant baptism?
