Interpreting the Differences Between Infant Baptism and Believer Baptism

The differences between infant baptism and believer baptism were thoroughly explored. It was highlighted that infant baptism involves a child being brought into the covenant community by believing parents on the basis of the Old Testament pattern, akin to circumcision. On the other hand, believer baptism signifies union with Christ and is for those who have repented, believed, and professed faith, emphasizing genuine belief rather than a specific age requirement.
