Well first we have to understand you misunderand
argument against bringing children to Jesus in Baptism
i nevee said this nor believe this
First Children can profess faith as they can speak infants cannot speak
Second you are bringing NOONE TO CHRIST only God the Father can do that!
Third you do not understand what baptism is if you think its the water
Any issues
Or
We on common ground now and i can show you what you can't apparently see
Perhaps you misunderstood what I mean by bringing someone to Jesus. I don't mean it in the sense of converting someone, or making them Christian. I mean it in a more literal sense, Jesus is there, present, in His Word and Sacraments. So much like those who brought their children to Jesus--literally, they took their little ones to hear Jesus speak, and to have Him bless them--we bring our children to Jesus who is there in Baptism. We aren't converting our children, God is. Because the Lord is present in His Word and Sacraments.
Baptism isn't only water, but it does include water. Baptism is water connected to God's word; it's not mere water that makes Baptism Baptism, but rather God's word. That's why the Apostle says that Christ has cleansed His Church through the
washing of water by the word (Ephesians 5:26).
Water, by itself, isn't Baptism. Otherwise anytime someone got wet it would be a baptism; but it's not. But rather Baptism is water connected to God's word; and where God's word is, there is God's indelible promises. That's why the Apostle St. Peter can say that we receive the Holy Spirit through Baptism, or St. Paul saying that we have been buried, dead, and raised with Christ in Baptism, etc. Because God has connected His word and promise to it, that all who are baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
But Baptism isn't some invisible thing done apart from the exterior expression. After all, the preaching of the Gospel is efficacious because it is God's word; but that word is found connected with the exterior preaching. "How can they call on one they have not heard, and how can they hear unless one preaches" etc. So God works through visible, exterior means to bring forth His saving work. Not because the voice of the preacher saves, or because water saves, but because God connects His word, His promises, to these exterior things. So that the preaching of the Gospel is efficacious; because here in that preaching is God's word.
So you are quite right that Baptism isn't (merely) water, since water by itself isn't Baptism. But one doesn't have Baptism without that exterior element, since without that water there is no visible means by which the word is connected to and communicated. So Baptism is both: water with the word. That is what makes it Baptism, what makes it a Sacrament.
