The truth be told, choirs, pastors, and all of us need doctrinally sound preaching. I'm thankful beyond expression that a man of God had the spiritual courage to tell me the truth in love back in the day. Most people are comfortable in their traditions and pass those along to the next generation of children. We are told by God the Holy Spirit,

"Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ."
Colossians 2:8

With all due respect to all those with the best intentions, the baby is an example of someone who has no accountability: However, the pastors pouring water on them demonstrate a lack of understanding of the most vital subject of salvation.
