Speaking as a Baptist, obviously I am a credo Baptist. However, I think many people (credo & paedo) make too big a deal about this matter. If it was a salvation issue (as those who believe in baptismal regeneration believe it is) then I could understand it, but I don't believe it is.
That is not to say that I think the matter isn't important, but it isn't important enough that it should cause dis-unity in the body of Christ.

This matter has been discussed to great length in the past on the Highway, so like Anne said: “I prefer to not get into debates on baptism.”

If you are interesting in understanding why Baptists such as myself believe in credo-baptism, I would suggest either looking in the archived discussions or reading a book such as Fred Malone’s ‘The Baptism of Disciples Alone’.

By the way, I would agree that discussions can shape beliefs. In fact they have shaped many of my own beliefs. But as I said: "This matter has been discussed to great length in the past on the Highway".
Someone else however, may want to deal with your specific question.
