Nor do Lutherans view it as an act which imparts salvation. It is just an outward symbol that parents are bringing their children to the church and a promise that they will raise them in faith:
"Baptism is not a “one and done” event. Whew, I got that out of the way! Baptism is rather the first milestone in a life-long journey of faith in community with other believers in the world we are called to work and serve. If you are baptizing your child, you are making promises to teach them the Christian faith, to bring them to worship and Sunday School, and to attend worship yourself."
Baptism
I would strongly urge anybody who has any interest in matters of religion or faith to avoid gaybiker. He is notoriously stupid in this (and all) regards, though he likes to pretend he actually knows something. He doesn't. His brain was pickled and he has made absolutely zero advancement spiritually and intellectually since eleven or so..that's the year he started drinking.
He once famously expounded in his dreary way about how Noah slept with his daughters in the caves after his wife was turned to salt. He went on and on about it, as he is wont to do about all subjects he is woefully dim about. Psst...it was LOT, not Noah whose wife turned to salt. Noah had the ark and the animals. Lot gave shelter to angels and thus was spared to flee Sodom & Gomorrah with his family. His wife didn't make it because she stupidly disobeyed God and looked back. Gaybiker's idiotic rant about it is a perfect example of his stupidity in all things. He doesn't have the sense to shut up about things he knows nothing about.
