This is a sincere question I have been wondering about for sometime.
1 Peter 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
How is infant baptism consistent with this verse since the verse seems to be saying that baptism is the 'answer of a good conscience toward God', which would seem to me to support the believers baptism position, since only believers can comprehend enough of the gospel to answer God specifically though baptism?
Any thoughts?
