You still don't get it do you John.
Baptize a baby - and TRUST solely upon God for his/her future. (Covenant promise and faith)
Baptize an adult because you rely upon a sinners statement.

No John. It is the Bapty's like you who believe that all you dunk are believers. You hold to the ceremony of quote "believers baptism" Thus in Baptist doctrine you exclude God and rely on the Arminian verbal all powerful public statement. Baptism is your denominations idol. We stick to the terms of the Covenant.
