What does Paul mean by all scripture?
Clearly he means that baptism is for believers only. Isn't that what all of Scripture means?
I'll see ya and raise you:

Deuteronomy 29:29
The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law.

1) All revealed things are for us and our children.

2) baptism is a revealed thing.

3) Therefore, baptism is for us and our children.
