Baptism Sacrament

Many groups teach baptism as a sacrament. In other words an authoritative person performs a rite to give grace to someone who needs the grace. In a sacrament the power of the ordinance comes from the authority of the individual performing the rite. The priest gives grace to the child based upon the priests authority, not based upon the child's knowledge and consent.

The priest of his authority baptizes to give grace to the uneducated infant.

This is actually refuted by Paul who stated his commission wasn't to Baptize but to preach the Gospel.

1Co 1:17  For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.

Paul was not sent to give grace apart from education nor apart from the cross. Paul was refuting sacramental baptism that was based in the name or authority of the person, and not tied to the Gospel faith of the person..

1Co 1:15  Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.

Paul was refuting baptism without education about the Gospel. Paul did not perform baptism as a sacrament where he gave grace in baptism based on a sacramental authority.

Think about the point Paul is making. God did not send him to baptize. He isn't refuting baptism after education about the cross and Christ's resurrection, he is refuting grace solely through an authoritative baptism.

We know this because Paul had no commission as an authoritative baptizer. He was never given a special authority or power to baptize, he wasn't part of a sacramental system.

No commission - no sacrament

He baptized some even though he had no commission, which means no special sacramental authority was necessary to baptize those converted.
