I agree there are great theologians on both sides of the issue as was brought out in earlier posts.

We each need to learn to put things in what I have been taught to call a "cone of certainty." There are 3 main divisions of certainty in this cone (high, medium and low) with any number of ranges in-between. Things we may be dogmatic about and should be dogmatic about (i.e. atonement, the existence of God) go in the "high" area. These things I am willing to die for. The issue of Baptism probably "medium" or "medium high" for me, with the mode being in the "low" category. Traducianism and creationism, the "low" category. However, no matter what level the item is in our cone, we should be willing and able to defend the one we believe is true until biblically convinced otherwise. This is one reason why I desire individuals to use Scripture to defend their views, for I know I would require it if I ever would change in any specific area (and I don't expect others to change either unless they see it from Scripture). In addition, I put everything in the cone someplace for theology is made up of webs of multiple reciprocities.
