Nope. Paedo baptize infants as a remedy for original sin. Baptism has very specific promises attached to it as "for the forgiveness of sins" which the credos don't believe.But Paedobaptists do not think that the person baptized needs to hear, or accept, or believe the gospel at all. Just get baptized.
The remedy "infant salvation" for the credos is AoA which is not found in Scripture. In fact, credos themselves admit there is no teaching in this matter. Why do credos believe this? Please help me understand. Where do the credos get this belief that infants are guiltless and sinless before the AoA. Where is this teaching explicitly taught?
Basically, as I see it credos believe "infant salvation" is based upon their own righteousness of sinlessness and guiltlessness. But what does Jesus say? “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”." (Lk. 5:31-32)
Christ’s work on the cross was for sinners not the sinless or guiltless. All the thematic words of Christ’s work such as justification by faith, atonement, reconciliation, Sacrifice, Ransom, Redemption, Penal Substitution presuppose the sinfulness of mankind. We have no Scripture that speak of Christ dying for the sinless.
For Credos, infants don't need Christ and therefore are ushered into heaven on their own merits of sinlessness due to the Age of Accountability
This is none other than "Salvation without Christ alone." A perfect example of works righteousness.
