Lutherans often say that the reason why they baptize infants is also because it's monergistic, since babies can't rationally believe according to Calvinists. However, Lutherans still would say that receiving the Lord's Supper is also something God does for us, but babies don't receive communion. By the same logic then , babies should take communion in Lutheranism but they don't. But what I was thinking was that, rather than seeing Baptism as a work, why don't baptists emphasize baptism as a monergistic act of justification or sanctification? Also why do Lutherans have a problem with people being baptized multiple times while communion is a weekly occurrence? I'm interested in what Reformed baptists think.
