You should at least try

Twisted interpretation

When the interpretation youve believed your whole life was twisted from the start, a straightening out of the interpretation appears like its being twisted.

If baptism must be a personal decision that has to be made by each and every believer, what about a the covenant membership of a particular person, who, throughout their entire life of 25 yrs, has been mentally handicapped with the mind of a child, and thus never able to solemnly and publicly make their own decision about anything—let alone to wholeheartedly profess to follow Christ? Should they be allowed the sacred administration of baptism, or not?
If SO, then why would you deny an infant whose mind is on the same level as this mentally retarded person?
If NOT, is it permitted that someone else — their guardian or parent—make that decision for them? Then how does that differ from infant baptism?

took me 15 mins to read but IMO,
yeah. they can still make decisions. infants are not on the same level as them in terms of information gained, and life experience.
i think that they should try to make a decision with the help of another person to help them make that decision (but not alter it)

If it took you that long to read, then consider that your school teachers have failed you and should give the $20,000/yr they steal from taxpayers back to your parents to homeschool you, give a you a good personal tutor, or something of that nature.

And since the public schools have failed to care about you enough to educate you in basic things, then why would you adopt their complex 'scientific' (and religious) beliefs about God, the universe, and the purposes of the world around us?

As for baptism, how can a mentally handicapped person even understand the gravity of the situation they are entering into, or how to pursue a holy life? They can't make any decisions about getting dressed for themselves, let alone how to live righteously. So why do many churches demand a personal decision, if there are those who cannot make them? Because those churches lead a works-based covenant that is supported by legal aged donors who can give money and time, and they care nothing for the children except that they will hopefully one day fill the coffers too.

In truth, the biblical premise of salvation is that we are all utterly incapable of saving ourselves—just like an infant. No person is in a more appropriate state for baptism than an infant, who relies 100% on their parents (as we do of our Heavenly Father) in order to protect and provide for all our needs.
