 comment What Bible verses support infant baptism?
@Greg: My point is that these verses should not be used to support/justify infant baptism as it being done in many answers to the question posed here. If we dont know enough about the specific situation, the best we can do is not to make our own conclusions. The question of infant baptism should therefore be answered from other parts of the bible, and I find it difficult to support/justify infant baptism if the spiritual background and significance of baptism is taken into account.

@Greg: Which means we cant use those examples to justify infant baptism.

 comment What happens to unborn, unbaptized babies who die?
I like this answer, but does the fact that we are descendants of Adam not mean that we are born as sinners? Ie, only when we become children of God (John 1:12-13, Rom 8:16-17) and are now no longer just "children" of Adam but also "children" of God are we justified under the blood of Jesus?

"that day or hour": some say it does not exclude us from knowing the 'season', ie maybe within a few years?

The examples such as Acts 16 does not say anything about the age (or more importantly the faith) of the members of the household. It seems that everyone just assumes that "household" means there were babies or children than we too young to put their own faith in Jesus.
