The Heresy of Adult Only Baptism

After the grievous error of regenerative infant baptism was born, the opposite heresy of adult-only baptism also came place. The adult-only baptism rule would say that a new convert should be an adult before they even get baptized. Ine does not need to be an adult to be baptized. The Gospel can be be understood and accepted even by a minor like a child or a teenager. 

To think about it, in Acts 2:41 one can read the effect of Peter's first Sunday service as the first pastor- those who BELIEVED were baptized on that day of the first Sunday service in the Book of Acts. One can assume children were also in the crowd that day. In Acts 16:31-33 the jailer was then preached the Gospel, he believed and then so did the whole household- so one can assume that even the underaged children were included to those who became converts as well, like I can assume that in Peter's first Sunday service message. This really makes the rule of that converts who are still minor will have to wait until they are adults (reaching 18-21 years old depending on which country) to receive the sacrament of baptism a major heresy.

While certainly the sacraments do not and will not save the person's soul but they do are part of God's special blessings for every believer. In fact, every new believer may have that desire for baptism which is a good thing to show they are obedient in the LORD as evidence of true irrevocable conversion. In fact, little children and teenagers when they embrace Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior should already be treated as candidates for the baptism of the saved. Believers can be baptized as long as they have truly received Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
