SPRINKLING AND POURING ARE NOT BAPTISM AND THERE WERE NO ACCOUNTS OF INFANTS BEING BAPTIZED ACCORDING TO THE NEW TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES  by steve finnell

The word baptized is transliterated in most New Testament Bibles. A few Bibles actually translate the word from Greek to English.

Transliterate Defined: to change (letters, words, etc.) into corresponding characters of another alphabet or language.

Translate Defined: to turn from one language into another or from a foreign language into one's own.

Transliterate does not mean to translate.

Question: Does the account of the Philippian jailer prove that non-believing infants are subjects for baptism?

Acts 16:31-34 so they said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household,"........33 And immediately he and all his family were baptized. 34 Now when he had brought them into his house, he set food before them; and he rejoiced, having believed in God with all his household. (NKJV)

Acts 16:31-34 ......33 .....and was immersed, he, and all his house, immediately. 34 Then he brought them up into his house, and set food before them, and with all his house, having believed in God. (The Better Version of The New Testament By Chester Estes)

Acts 16:33 Then, even at that late hour of the night, the jailer took them and washed off their wounds; and without delay, he and all his people were immersed. (Complete Jewish Bible)

What occurred with the jailer  and his household?

1. They all believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Infants cannot believe.

2. The whole household was immersed in water (baptized). Not one person was poured or sprinkled.

3. They all rejoiced, having believed in God. Infants cannot rejoice nor can they believe in God.

There were no adults nor unbelieving infants sprinkled or poured that night. The adults who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ were immersed for the forgiveness of their sins and were immersed into Christ. (Acts 2:38 and Galatians 3:27)

If unbelievers need to be baptized for the false doctrine of original sin, then why do  Christians not forcibly baptize unbelieving adults. Infants do not give permission to be baptized. Of coursed most infants are not immersed, they are sprinkled or poured.

Immersion (baptism) in water is for adults who need to repent of their unbelief. They need to believe (John 3:16, repent Acts 3:19, Acts 2:38 confess Romans 10:9, and be immersed Mark 16:16.

There is no Biblical account of unbelieving infants nor unbelieving adults being immersed for the forgiveness of the sins that they have committed. Certainly no Scriptures that states men need to baptized because of Adam's sin.
