Water baptism in the name of Jesus is a carryover from the book of Acts chapter 2 when the 3000 obeyed Peter and we’re baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of their sins. Modernists are disobeying Peter and talking people out of their salvation by not being baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of their sins. Therefore, their sins in these modern days remain.
It is the Catholic Church that rose up to attempt to wipe out water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins. They are the mother of all the protestant churches that omit baptism in the name of Jesus Christ.

It is impossible to baptize without water. You are changing them meaning of baptism.
Acts 10:47 “Surely no one can stand in the way of their being baptized with water. They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have.”

That would include the Catholic trick of the canon of Scripture, that is not listed in Scripture.
Conjuring up Bible origin fantasies, refusing to admit how the Bible got here is blindness.
You need to stop punishing yourself.

What is the purpose of infant baptism?
Don’t know, have never seen or heard of an infant baptized in water;
Ie. bodily submerged in water.
Ie. Signifying a public announcement that “individual” has freely chosen to surrender his life unto God.
Have seen, have heard of infants being “christened” with water;
Ie. Water poured over the infants head.
Ie. A ritual of the parents public agreement to raise their infant IN THE teachings of THAT Church Doctrine, and agreed, recognized, documented and performed by the Priest of THAT Church.
Thereafter, that Child (taught or not, can or not, decide to freely surrender his life unto God, with or without a water baptism.)

The Scripture does not say they baptized with water. Verse 47 says Peter asked about water. Verse 48 does not say they baptized with water. So they must have said no to Peter's question. Also these are little examples you quote even after I said because of tradition some were baptized with water in the beginning or were still asking questions about water which is what Peter did. There is no teaching anywhere in the New Testament about water baptism for the Christian. Nowhere.
47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
Peter did not command them to be baptized in water. He only asked about water in the verse before.

There is no Christian in the NT about whom it cans be said that they were not water baptized. And by the way, there is no teaching anywhere in the NT about any baptism for the Christian. Nowhere. The Christian is one who has been baptized. He is not a Christian until he has been baptized. In Jesus' great commission of Matthew 28:19-20, there is only one command. That is to make disciples. Baptizing and teaching is the method Jesus describes for making those disciples.
Compiling the scriptures together into a volume is a far cry from writing down every little commentary somebody has an opinion about. Everybody knows you have scripture truth and you have fake news. Commentary is not scripture. You guys treat it like it is.
Then Peter said to them repent and be baptized by the Holy Ghost and you shall receive the Holy Ghost?
They had previously received the gift of the Holy Ghost and then were commanded to be baptized in the name of Jesus in water. How can you not see that?

I know I’ll regret this because I’ll have to suffer through your verbose rants and bizarre word-salads – but here goes . . .
As early as the FIRST century, full immersion was NOT the only method of Baptism.
In the document, The Didache (Teachings of the Twelve Apostles),we read the following:
Chapter 7. Concerning Baptism
And concerning baptism, baptize this way: Having first said all these things, baptize into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, in living water. But if you have not living water, baptize into other water; and if you can not in cold, in warm. But if you have not either, pour out water thrice upon the head into the name of Father and Son and Holy Spirit.
This document was written around 50AD - while the Apostles were STILL ALIVE.
As for your objection to infant Baptism – as God why He commanded that 8-day-old BABIES to be circumcised in order to enter into the Covenant with Him.
This might give you some insight . . .

WRONG, son..
We Baptize “in the name of Jesus Christ” by submitting to HIS Authority when He commanded:
Matt. 28:19
“ Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”
And that's what Peter did in Acts 3:38 . . .

In all your posts about baptism, you always leave out "spirit", fixated on water alone. Without spirit, baptism is meaningless. John 3:5 is quite clear on the matter.

You don’t say the name of Jesus over your baptismal candidate so you do not baptize in the name of Jesus Christ. You have utterly failed as a Roman Catholic. You do not belong to the church of 3000 at Pentecost.
That was the gift of the empowering Holy Spirit, not the gift of the indwelling Holy Spirit. That "same gift" that Peter referred to was that which He and the rest there who were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance (Acts 2:6 and Acts 10:44-46). There is no salvation attached to that gift. It is only the gift of the indwelling Holy Spirit that is associated with salvation for the believer upon repenting and being baptized in the name of Jesus Christ (Acts 2:38 and Acts 10:48).
