How do we know that baptism is for believers?

Answered in 2 sources

Baptism symbolizes the union between Christ and believers, and is reserved for those who have experienced spiritual circumcision and regeneration.

Baptism, as expounded in Colossians 2:12, is described as being 'buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God'. This signifies that baptism represents the believer's union with Christ in His death and resurrection. It is not merely a ritual but a profound declaration of faith, meant for those who have undergone spiritual circumcision—the transformative work of God in their hearts. Therefore, baptism is for those who can affirm their faith and acknowledge that they are part of Christ's body, the Church.
