Allow me to state once again, we should not baptize the children of unbelievers. I am simply making the point that believers baptism is an untrue label, and the Baptist Confession upholds my view.
William,

I think you have made a valid point here. The caveat for the "typical" Baptist is that they will argue from this point, i.e., only "believers" are to be baptized and thus infants are of necessity excluded. For those that want to use this type of reasoning, THEN your counter-argument is a valid one; i.e., there is no infallibly method for discerning true faith in those which profess such. So, although the argument is a limited one, I do think it is legitimate, if for no other reason than to show the incongruity of holding to the terminology of "beleiver's baptism". <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
