It seems to me that all through your presentation you relied on Scripture to 
prove your points.  But in this section (especially with the last sentence) 
you seem to have done the same thing paedobaptists did in the past on this list 
when they tried to "prove" that Scripture wants us to baptize babies.  I think 
we're in trouble any time we say "I cannot prove from Scripture that it does 
but..."  Just a respectful observation.
