The law says at 18 months? So, would you baptize an 18 month old and apply all the "children" text to them?
I therefore conclude that the "infant/children" dichotomy, in this context, is absurd. | So, you don't distinguish between a 12-year-old and an 8-month-old? Would you still baptize a 12-year-old if they flat out reject Christ? (This is the distinguishing I'm talking about.)
