How do we know that infant baptism is not biblically supported?

Answered in 1 source

There is no biblical precedent for infant baptism; all examples in Scripture involve believers who profess faith before baptism.

The claim that infants can be baptized lacks scriptural backing, as the New Testament presents no instances of infants being baptized. Baptism is intended as a representation of faith in Christ and a public proclamation of belief. Passages like John 1:12-13 establish that regeneration and acceptance into God’s family occur through personal faith, not physical lineage or ritual. Infant baptism, therefore, undermines the necessity of true conversion and faith, leading to false assurance among those who are baptized as infants.
