#271 Is a baptism considered legitimate if it's performed on an infant? Does one even have to be baptized to get to Heaven or does one gain entrance through grace alone? Is simply accepting the Holy Spirit considered baptism? Or is actual immersion required?
Before you dismiss these as minor differences, consider what's at stake according to those who believe it.

You've been asked about this numerous times and haven't attempted to address it, as far as I know.
